When you think about librarians, what's the first thing that comes to mind? NASCAR obviously. Little did you know, but many of Nashua's finest librarians are devout NASCAR fans, and it was with great zeal that we celebrated Jimmie Johnson's repeat as the winner of The Chase this past weekend. Our library has an excellent collection of sports books, but I've pulled together a list of books and videos on NASCAR that are essential reading and viewing for any self-respecting NASCAR fan. Enjoy!
