Right now I am encouraging our part-time customer service representatives Blanche Kingery, Sharon Spaur, Sherry Turner and David Herrmann to go through Tony's book and become a little familiar with the race tracks and people that are covered in the publication, so they can answer our customers' questions on-line and over the phone." The book retails for $20, plus $7.95 shipping and handling. The museum store accepts cash, checks, money orders, and American Express, Discover, Mastercard and Visa credit cards. The toll-free phone number is 1-800-874-4488, while the museum's on-line store can be found at www.sprintcarstuff.com.
