By , About.com Guide

If you're looking for the best NASCAR news and information in print these NASCAR magazines are for you. Whether you are want great full color NASCAR photos or in-depth NASCAR news in a no nonsense format there is a NASCAR magazine here to suit your style.

1. NASCAR Scene

This weekly NASCAR newspaper covers Sprint Cup, the Nationwide Series and the Craftsman Truck series in depth. NASCAR Scene If your race fan likes to stay on top of NASCAR then this is a sure hit. Not only do you get the excellent magazine but you also get access to their website for breaking news. For the NASCAR news junkie this is the best choice.

2. NASCAR Illustrated

NASCAR Illustrated is more friendly and accessible than the hardcore NASCAR Scene. NASCAR Illustrated is packed with driver profiles, interviews and excellent full-color photography while the Scene is packed with more news but less pretty pictures. While both are excellent here is how to chose between them. NASCAR Illustrated is a great monthly full-color magazine for NASCAR fans. NASCAR Scene is a weekly NASCAR newspaper for NASCAR maniacs.

3. Circle Track

Specifically for American oval racing this magazine covers NASCAR, IRL and some dirt series. Circle Track is a monthly magazine that often slants towards racers themselves.

If you want to understand how a race car works one year of Circle Track will certainly improve your knowledge.

4. Dick Berggren's Speedway Illustrated

Dick Berggren's Speedway Illustrated covers NASCAR, but Dick's first priority is the local short track racing that blankets the country. While the national series do get their share of attention there is no better magazine for news and information about local short track racing across the country.
