Overview

Joe Garner turns his hand to stockcar racing as he and NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon capture the most important moments in the sport's history. From the most exciting finishes to the terrifying crashes and heart-breaking tragedies, NASCAR: Speed Guts and Glory captures the rich, uniquely American tapestry that is fast-becoming the most popular sport we've ever known.
