Robert Edelstein's biography, FULL THROTTLE: The Life and Fast Times of NASCAR Legend Curtis Turner, is in the upcoming May 14 issue of the New York Times Book Review's "Paperback Row" column.
"Edelstein, a motor-sports writer for TV Guide, chronicles the bumpy career of Curtis Turner (1924-1970), who ran moonshine in the Virginia hills as a teenager and blazed a dirt trail to stardom during NASCAR's early years, earning the title of "the Babe Ruth of stock-car racing."Last year, the hardcover of FULL THROTTLE was featured on the cover of the New York Times Book Review, so it's nice to see them give a nod to the paperback they called "[an] impeccable biography...[It] kicks up blissful dirt on NASCAR's juiced-up early days."
