Pit Road Pets: NASCAR Stars and Their Pets A book that gives you a candid look at your favorite NASCAR stars & the pets they love.
"You don't have to follow NASCAR to enjoy the book; the sentiments of pet owners are universal. But even hard-core NASCAR junkies may learn something new about their favorite drivers by skimming the text or scanning the photos of drivers fawning over their pets as if they're hoisting the Daytona 500 trophy." - The Washington Post, May 22, 2006 Book Review
In 2006, the Ryan Newman Foundation published the hardcover book, Pit Road Pets: NASCAR Stars and Their Pets, a collection of first-person stories and intimate photographs of nearly 50 NASCAR celebrities and their pets, including Ryan Newman, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Tony Stewart, Jimmie Johnson, Bobby Allison and many more! Photographs by Karen Will Rogers and interviews by Laura Lacy. The first printing of the book sold out, and the second printing-sponsored by Meaty BoneTM - was released in 2007.
One hundred percent of the foundation's proceeds from the book are being donated to the Humane Society of Catawba County's capital campaign for the Ryan Newman Foundation S.N.I.P. Regional Spay/Neuter Clinic that serves the heart of NASCAR country in NC.
Pit Road Pets invites you into the world of your favorite NASCAR stars for a special look at their private lives with their families and pets. From Tony Stewart and his tiny Chihuahua, Kayle, to Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and his Boxer, Killer, the stars of NASCAR are beautifully photographed with their creatures, great and small. In their own words, drivers, crew chiefs and racing personalities share the stories of how their animals enrich their lives.
