One helluva ride: how NASCAR swept the nation

A hardscrabble past

The fans anoint a king

Racing's mountaintops and valleys

Dale Earnhardt : working-class hero

The wonder boy and Indy

The champ and the challenger

Bright lights, big cities

"We've lost Dale Earnhardt"

Good-bye, Miss Winston

Gearing up for the global economy

That's entertainment

NASCAR's all-time champions 1949-2007
