If you have cable, log into CMT and they have a 3 part series called "Nascar: The rise of American Speed" that you can watch for free. They go from the early days before Nascar started, through the forming of nascar, to Building Daytona and Charlotte, all the way up to current day. I highly recommend watching it. They use actors and act out the story, rather than tell it. I learned so much, and I thought I was a mega fan.
 
If you dont have cable you can also buy all 3 episodes for $5.99 on Amazon
 
Also, there is a great movie on Dale Earnhardt, one of our heroes that died at Daytona in 2001, called "3: The Dale Earnhardt Story". You can watch it here on youtube.
 
EDIT: Here is a great list of memorable finishes
This might not be the best overall, but I can remember actually laughing out loud in a completely silent classroom while reading some of the stories about Dale Earnhardt in this book. I recommend it as a good read for anyone interested in Earnhardt, a good amount of the off the track stuff was new to me.

Living at home. Saves money but.....living at home.
I love, love, love the case - have had it for a year now. Very easy to hang. You can take the door off the hinges. Four holes for the screws. Position the case where you want, mark the four holes with a pencil, then you put in plastic anchor screws at each mark, then simply screw the case into the anchor screws.
The tilt is what really makes it unique and awesome. Not sure there's a better way to display a collection. Got it here:

Nothing at the moment, but I've been thinking of ordering this.
I'd love to know more about car setups, and, it could possibly help with iRacing too, so, it'd be neat to test some of the stuff out.
The song is "First Breath After Coma" by Explosions in the Sky. It's off their genre defining album "The Earth is not a Cold Dead Place". If you like the song, then you'll love this album and their music. Seriously, go out and purchase the album, some of the best 6 bucks you can spend anywhere. Amazon link here

But I would agree that Jr's book is among the best that's been published lately. It's a really excellent book.
"Race With Destiny" by the late, great David Poole is excellent. Tells the story of Alan Kulwicki's championship, along with everything else that happened that year...
http://www.amazon.com/Race-Destiny-David-Poole/dp/0970917031
I just use these wired ear pieces and cheap $10 generic ear muffs over. $20 total and work perfectly and comfortable. Plus, I can still hear the radio when I go to the concourse and don't need hearing protection.
Edit: In full disclosure, I linked a Smile Amazon link. It's not a referral link, but donates a portion of the sales to charity. All of my Amazon links do that, so I forgot that when I linked, wasn't trying to pull any wool over anyone's eyes.
Buy this.

And use a pair of nice in ear headphones.
Budget and works great.
Dang, used to live in Tucson and was unaware of the proximity. Lot of great cars in there. The Porsche LMP2 is particularly special, as it outshone and beat the diesel Audi R10 LMP1 juggernaut at Sebring that year, and was competitive against the faster class all throughout the schedule. Legendary times in the ALMS.
Some reading suggestions:
The Unfair Advantage - Mark Donohue's pseudo-autobiography cataloguing his and Roger Penske's continual development of the cars they raced in the 1960s and 1970s, a true golden era for gains in automotive racing technology and performance.
Beast - the story of Penske's secret Ilmor-Mercedes engine project that once again gained the unfair advantage and lead to victory at Indy in 1994.
I would suggest "NASCAR: An IMAX Experience" from 2004. It's available (not free unfortunately it looks like) virtually on google play, youtube, and Amazon. Here's the Amazon link:
https://www.amazon.com/NASCAR-IMAX-Experience-Kiefer-Sutherland/dp/B0093QJQFW
Great place to start IMO
The good thing about the FanVision cables is that it uses a regular Mini USB plug that can be picked up at a place like Best Buy or online
No problem. There appears to be a slightly newer, "improved" version here for $34. Or you can get the same version I have, here for $26.
Either way, basically the same radio, may as well just go with the cheaper of the two. Both are the same unit internally; but if things like a multi color backlight for the screen are important, the $34 dollar one is better.
With either, you'll also need a headphone adapter plug, 2.5mm to 3.5mm, here for around $5.
Sorry it took me so long, day got away from me. I'll repost the links to the magnets and anchors since Imgur ate them. Hope this helps you out!

Scanner: Baofeng UV-5R v2, $33. I have the previous model of this one. The older model is now $25.
Antenna: Nagoya NA-810 2.5-Inch Mini-Whip VHF/UHF, $14. The stock antenna on that radio has a lot of bleed, I changed the antenna on both of my radio's and the next race we went to there was no bleed whatsoever.
I just use normal earbuds for audio and have noise cancelling ear muffs, but plan on getting a microphone headset in the future.
Noise cancelling headset here
So for a little more than the price of renting one of the scanners you can buy your own and have it ready to go every year. We go to multiple races a year, so after two races we were already saving money on scanners.
If money is an issue this will get the job done.
