Summary: At the Altar of Speed
Review: This is the first Dale Earnhardt book I have found that was NOT a coffee table book filled only with captioned photos.This book covers Dale's life from the beginning, discussing his friends and family. It tells the story of his struggle to become so successful. Dale was always a very private person, and until now, it was difficult to find anything about his personal life away from the racetrack. The book even mentions that Dale advised Dale Jr. that he would regret living his "Club E" image in the public eye. I been a huge Nascar fan for over 20 years, and admired Dale since he finally cast the monkey off his back by winning the Daytona 500. All in all a very good read, leaving me the desire to find out even more about Dale.

Summary: From a new Nascar fan
Review: Unfortunately while my husband and his friends were following Nascar I wasn't paying attention. I went to my first race in Bristol following Earnhardt's death and couldn't help but notice the respect EVERYONE seemed to have for Earnhardt, no matter who they followed. I got this book to learn more. To me it was wonderful, it made you cry in places and in places I laughed out loud while reading it. I really enjoyed it and have already passed it on to someone else to read it. I don't think that you particulary had to be a Nascar or an Earnhardt fan to enjoy it though. It was very entertaining. A good read.
