Summary
Andrew Clarke is a motorsports writer and author and he has a new book that we’re discussing today, The Immortals of NASCAR . Clarke shares how the project came to be; the word ‘immortal’ being perfect for a NASCAR project; the reason that the list is made up of all champions; the debatable criteria of being included on the list or considered an honorable mention; shedding insight on Shane van Gisbergen from his Supercars career; what he was like to cover in Australia; the following he still has over there with what he’s doing now; putting the order of the list together; the debates that come with this list; having Richard Petty write the forward, and his words about what drivers mean to the sport; the driver being the focus in NASCAR versus other sports; Clarke’s background covering NASCAR and motorsports; the racing to pay attention to on that side of the world; explaining having a love of Wikipedia.
