Why Bill Lester Came Out of Retirement to Race NASCAR Trucks
The Californian broke barriers in both stock car and sports car competition.
Bill Lester has another story to tell.
It’s been eight years since Lester last took a green flag and it’s been another six since his last appearance in NASCAR. But even after publishing an inspirational memoir with journalist Jonathan Ingram, the 60-year-old from Oakland, California has more chapters to write.
Lester will tell you that the memoir,
Winning In Reverse: Defying the Odds and Achieving Dreams, isn’t a biography. It’s definitely not an autobiography, Lester said. I want to make that very clear. It s actually a motivational story with a motorsports backdrop. It’s my backdrop, my story, in terms of how I was able to live my dream.
