Rock-em, Sock-em, Travelin' Sideways Dirt Show Gary L Parker

Tells the story of the first national touring series for dirt late model cars. Robert Smawley, founder of the National Dirt Racing Association (NDRA) was a visionary promoter who was clearly years ahead of his time. He brought money and national fame to late model dirt racing and its drivers. His series changed the sport of dirt racing forever. All of today's national touring series owe their beginnings to Smawley and his "travelin' dirt show." 164 photographs from the personal collection of Robert Smawley.
