She just wants you to her love for the dirt oval, short track. 
Redundant title is redundant..
My sister-in-law gets me clothes all the time since her husband likes clothes - one year I asked for tools and they were perplexed; "why would Pete want tools? Wouldn't he like some nice dress shirts or slacks?"
I hated when those Rugby shirts came into style back in the 1990's....the shirts with the rubber buttons?
my dad got deodorant from his mother in law one year.
Does she have a sense of humor or was it funny by accident?
So the sister-in-law stepped up and got me tools one year.........this. So now I am really specific on what to get me.

That's what my son said!
MIL didn't get me anything and I like it that way.
Haven't spoken to mine in over a year, it's the best Christmas ever!
What scares me more, is that is the 2nd edition. Means it was popular enough the FIRST time around that they did it again.
Ha! One of the Wreck Racing guys (Bowenaero here) could really use that - he just got a job as race engineer for a Nascar team and needs to bone up on his Nascar rules, trivia, etc.
My kids got Kindle Fires... I got an Etch-a-Sketch. I like mine better!

I'm still trying to figure that one out. On one hand she could be just like every other non-gear head type and assume that when I say I like car racing that I must be talking about NASCRAP. But I've been married to her daughter for 25+ years, and she's always known (but taken no interest in) that I'm a gear head and race enthusiast. That being the case, exactly what is she trying to say by giving me a NASCAR for dummies book? That I'm a dummy?
Then again, maybe she was just trying to be funny, I dunno.
so how detailed is the book? does it get into the nuts and bolts of the cars, or is it just "Jimmy Johnson has the number 48 on his car. he wins the cup a lot and some people don't like him very much" kind of stuff?

Couldn't tell you. I haven't opened it.
my MIL gave me $150 - time to blow it at summit racing.
In reply to patgizz:
Bragger.
Mine gave me the same thing she has for the last 27 years. A big fat nothing.
My MIL/FIL gave me 2 pairs of padded Mechanix gloves, a set of Harbor Freight welding clamps, a $50 Lowe's gift card, and a $50 Macy's gift card (since I have to wear suits to work, and always need more shirts/ties).
No complaints here!
My MIL gave me and my wife a kitchen sink.
Well, if you need to re-gift that, I'm sure our old friend Fogger Jr. would find it very informative.
...actually, maybe not, since he already knows everything there is to know.
This year the MIL gave each of us (her daughter and I) cash to spend buying each other a gift from her. It was fun.
