This is not a racing book. This is the story of an complex and amazing individual who happened to be one of the greatest race car drivers of his time. The glory days of racing serve as the back drop for a stormy love triangle that was the talk of Daytona Beach during the late 50’s and early ‘60s. Glenn “Fireball” Roberts was the first modern superstar of stock car racing. He was truly ahead of his time and already a legend in his late 20’s. Unfortunately, for the woman he loved and the racing community, his time ran out far too early.
Fireball Legends Don't Fall from the Sky eBook Godwin Kelly
Fireball Roberts was a professional race-car driver, it said so right on his driver's license. This book is more about his personal life than many folks would like, they would like to ignore the facts of his marital split, his girl-friend, and his escapades. Well, they are just part of what made Fireball who he was--a man who raced cars. The major problem I have with this book is the photographs without captions. They leave me wondering "Who were these people," "Where was this race?," "Which year was this?" etc. Obviously written with input from Judy Judge, his girl-friend and fiance, but not Fireball's first wife and his late daughter, it is a little one-sided. I hope that another book comes out that Pam, his daughter, was working on. It would show another side of him, I'm sure.Product details

Fireball Legends Don't Fall from the Sky eBook Godwin Kelly Reviews
I've had the pleasure of meeting many Nascar drivers and owners of this era. Ned Jarrett, the Woods Brothers, Smokey Yunick, and had always heard about Fireball Roberts and how he was a man ahead of his time in racing. After reading this book I truly understand that statement to be true. This book is for anyone who enjoys the sport of auto racing and the people responsible for its growth.
A great read...you won't be disappointed.
Glad I found this book as he has always been my all time favorite watching excerpts of the old time racing on b/w tv in grammer school. Followers of the original champions will enjoy this book and the personal stories in it.
One of NASCARS greatest drivers. R.I.P. Fireball.
Excellent read concerning one of its first stars. Very well written and gives you a good look into a personal life I did not know.
Exactly as described, good packaging, fact shipping. Unfortunately, the book itself is poorly organized, contains too much sensationalism, tasteless language, and contains very little actual history.
I was twelve years old when Fireball left us but I remember sending him a letter after his crash.To a young race fan like I was and still am a race fan how could you not get attached to a person called Fireball. After reading this book I know a lot more about the driver who changed the world of stock car racing.got to admit there were a few times I had to dry my eyes.still have the pain today just as I do for Davy Allison and still wonder today how do get so attached to someone you never met in person. The only answer I can come up with we share the love and passion for our racing heroes just as much as they loved to drive and WIN!!!
