"NASCAR continues to focus on that ever-important segment of its fan base - and that's the female audience,” said Mark Dyer, NASCAR Vice President of Licensing. “Liz Allison's new book – The  - should be an excellent addition to the NASCAR Library Collection and provide our female fans with a unique perspective into America's fastest growing sport. Liz has a great feel for the sport and has the ability to successfully relate her experiences and knowledge into a fun and informative read."

Allison was married to NASCAR racing superstar Davey Allison until his untimely death in 1993. Her dedication to the sport continues today as she covers the sport of stock car racing through many facets of the media.

Center Street to Release Girl’s Guide to NASCAR

“My passion for NASCAR runs deep,” said Allison. “I get so excited about the growth of the sport, but particularly the female fan base. That is without question the main reason for writing the book. This book is for the female fan who wants to know everything from what the rules mean, to why NASCAR hands down penalties, how to purchase tickets to a race and how to enjoy the sport more with your kids. I hope my personal experiences will help educate the millions of female NASCAR fans out there who really want to know who, what, when, where, and why.”
