DESCRIPTION:
Dutton's glimpses of this brash, hard-talking young driver will please fans looking for a successor to Dale Earnhardt. On the other hand, since readers of that column are already familiar with this material, they may not bother buying the book.Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.. The book consists of 40 short pieces from the author's "NASCAR This Week" syndicated newspaper column; unfortunately, this reporting, which focuses on one set of NASCAR venues in the mid-South, isn't enough to provide readers with a coherent picture of the complex mechanics, culture and social context of racing, as Dutton did in his previous book. He also examines infield personalities, their sponsors and the sport-racing press. From Publishers Weekly Dutton (At Speed) blazes through Tony Stewart's "sophomore" 2000 Winston Cup season, when the

Tony Stewart is, without a doubt, one of NASCAR’s most rebellious heroes as well as one of the sport’s best young drivers.. He has made headlines with his dramatic victories but also with his occasional scraps on and off the track with Jeff Gordon and other drivers. Stewart’s impressive 2000 campaign has not disappointed the fans who applauded his stellar rookie year, 1999. In 2000, Stewart not only racked up impressive wins, but his fierce competitive spirit and his tell-it-like-it-is attitude have made him a fan favorite. Monte Dutton’s Rebel With a Cause provides an inside look at emerging NASCAR superstar Tony Stewart’s 2000 racing season
"Not quite a "Driver #8" story about Driver #20." according to M. Tyler. Mr. Dutton's first book, "At Speed blah blah" was terrible to the point where I think it should not have been published. His literary agent - whom provided a helpful review here which clarified the origins of the content of "Rebel With a Cause" - will perhaps be dismayed that I reached that conclusion after reading "At Speed" while browsing in a bookstore and not after wasting my money on it. It might be good for kindling, but that's about it.Mr. Dutton's effort with "Rebel" is better, though maybe not by leaps and bounds. The book recaps Stewar. "Finally, something with substance about my favorite driver!" according to A Customer. This is the perfect book for a diehard Tony Stewart fan like myself. It covers all of his races--the good, the not-so-good, and the downright ugly--but it also gives a little more insight into Tony the person. It is nice to finally see a book devoted to a new driver instead of the standard Jeff Gordon/Dale Earnhardt (although the latter is somewhat understandable now) fare that is offered up. And unlike some of the other books out there, this one is substantial, and not just some 6Finally, something with substance about my favorite driver!

Unfortunately, this book seemed to be just a recap of the 2000 season. At times I felt I was reading old newspaper articles about the races. The very small amount of 'behind-the-scenes' stuff could have fit into 20 pages. If your a new fan or a fan of another driver this book will get you caught up with Tony's past seasons and should put the negative publicity to rest. Otherwise I would wait for Tony's book to come out but of course us diehards need to pick up e
