Winning in Reverse: Defying the Odds and Achieving DreamsThe Bill Lester Story

English

By (author): Bill Lester Jonathan Ingram

The amazing and dramatic story of Bill Lester, one of the most well-known NASCAR drivers in historyand a pioneer whose determination and spirit has paved the way for a new generation of racers.

Winning in Reverse tells the story of Bill Lester whose love for racing eventually compelled him to quit his job as an engineer to pursue racing full time. Blessed with natural talent, Bill still had a trifecta of odds against him: he was black, he was middle aged, and he wasnt a southerner.

Bill Lester rose above it all, as did his rankings, and he made history time and time again, becoming the first African American to race in NASCARs Busch Series, the first to participate in the Nextel Cup and the first to win a Pole Position start in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.

Whether you are contemplating a career or lifestyle change, challenging social norms, or struggling against prejudice or bigotry, Winning in Reverse is a story for sports fans and readers everywhere about the power of perseverance in the face of adversity. See more
