Summary: This Driver can write, as well
Comment: "Hi everyone, this is Dale Jr." begins the Introduction and from that point forward, you sense Junior is talking to you directly.
DRIVER #8 is a first-rate account of Dale Jr.'s inagural 2000 Winston Cup season, from the Daytona 500 thru the NAPA 500 in Atlanta, Georgia, as told by Junior himself in a fashion even a non-NASCAR fan can appreciate. From February thru November, 2000 you go behind the scenes with a Winston Cup driver, meet with sponsors, mingle with fans, and realize first hand the inordinate demands and weekly pressure put upon a racing rookie in this most competitive circuit, not to mention a "legacy" and budding superstar like Dale Jr. This book is so well scripted, I read all 300+ pages in one evening, and frankly, I haven't done that it quite some time. BRAVO to #8 on another victory. You continue to make your Dad proud!
So if you're a NASCAR or Little "E" fan, or just want to know what all the excitement's about, do yourself a favor, plunk down the $17 and proceed to checkout!

Summary: Fresh & Honest Prospective on NASCAR
Comment: This is a wonderful read for all NASCAR fans even if you are not a Dale Jr. fan. I was glad to find that Dale Jr. divulged emotions regarding the death of Dale Sr. appropriately and respectfully while conserving the privacy that he and all NASCAR drivers fight daily to preserve. As a twentysomething NASCAR fan I naturally related to his new millenium attitude and approach to the industry, his career, and often complicated issues such as media infringement, sponsor committments and unstable fans. Additionally, this book provides the reader with fantastic play by play descriptions of the races along the NASCAR circuit of his Rookie season with driver oriented explanations of various technical issues of the cars and tracks.
Overall, I rated this book 5 stars for its easy readability and attention keeping entertainment factor. By the end of this book you'll be ready to invite this guy over for a cold Bud!

Summary: A fabulous book
Comment: This book is one of the best I have ever read. It is definitely a must read for any NASCAR fan, especially one that is a fan of Dale Earnhardt, Jr. This book is extremely captivating, and I completed it in two days. There is not a bad spot in the book, although he does tend to focus on Bud Girls...there are hilarious moments in this novel, one of them being the 2000 Winston and it's tale about a man dressed as a giant Oreo. Although it was penned by Jade Gurss, you can tell that the stories are entirely Dale Jr.'s, and his personality comes shining through. You feel closer to him somehow after the completion of this book. Dale manages to use colorful language to his advantage; it's an easy read, but definitely makes you think. The photo inserts in the middle are a great addition, as is the epilogue covering the events of 2001 and how he coped with his father's death. He is very candid about everything, and it's refreshing. Overall: it's just a great, great book and can definitely be reread numerous times.
