Rating: Summary: Loved this book!! Review: It was very personal and he didn't hold anything back. Loved the parts about how he loved the look on his dad's face when he won a race and wanted to win more just for his dad. I suggest any Earnhardt fan read this book and enjoy!!
Rating: Summary: Just AWESOME! Review: I'm a big Dale Jr fan & I just had to get this book to read. The book tells about his rookie season in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series in 2000. The book talks about what he would do on race weekends before the race tells & what was going on during the race and he (Dale Jr) talks about his father a lot in the book. I have read this book 2 times and I have to say that Dale Jr and his PR person are both AWESOME! writers. This book is just AWESOME! Every Dale Jr fan needs to go out and buy this book and read it 1 or 2 times.
Rating: Summary: The Perfect Book Review: As a NASCAR fan, I picked the book up because I like reading bios of my favorite athletes. But this is a story of a rookie in Winston Cup, told by Dale himself. The writing is very personal, he's not afraid to curse or say he wasn't upset when the Bud Girls "forgot" to wear bras to a photo shoot. It's the perfect book to read to get inside the season of one of the most popular drivers in Cup!
Rating: Summary: Dale Jr. Fan Review: I became a fan of NASCAR during the 2001 season. My dad was always a fan and I'd watch some of the races a few years ago with him. I decided at that time that I liked Jeff Gordon because I thought he was "cute". When I began watching the races more seriously, I started liking Dale Jr. (I also think he is a "hottie"!) After reading his book I am now a devoted Dale Earnhardt Jr. fan. His book was great! I felt like he was talking to me. The way he told his stories and the language that he used, you could almost hear him. I learned a lot about him as a driver and as a person. I also learned a lot more about NASCAR racing and what the teams go through week after week. It is truly a team sport. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys NASCAR.
Rating: Summary: This book is great! Review: Driver # 8 is simply one of the best books I have read in a long time. This book is not a biography. It is about Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s rookie season in the Nascar Winston Cup Series.Dale Jr. proves that he is as good of a writer, as he is a driver. There are several moments in this book that will make you laugh out loud. This book is good for the new Nascar fan, as well as the long timers, as it provides a fascinating look into an entire season of the Winston Cup Series. Dale often talks about the highs and lows that the teams go through. He also explains several things about the cars in layman terms so that the non fan can understand it. Overall, as a long time Nascar fan, I got a lot of enjoyment out of this book, and I believe you will too. Highly Recommended!!
Rating: Summary: REVEALING AND TOUCHIN Review: THIS BOOK PROVIDES A WONDERFUL INSIGHT TO THE WORLD OF NASCAR FROM A ROOKIE STAND POINT AND ALSO FROM THE SON OF A LEGEND. DALE JR DOES A WONDERFUL JOB OF DESCRIBING THE UPS AND DOWNS OF LIFE IN THE SPOTLIGHT. THIS BOOK IS BOTH BREATHTAKING AND FUNNY DALE JR DOES A GREAT JOB OF KEEPING YOUR ATTENTION. WHEN YOU START READING YOU WONT WANT TO STOP I PROMISE
Rating: Summary: GO JR! Review: I bought this book for my husband and he just loved it. What a great story about his rookie year. It was great fun to read. Jr shows his wit, candor and honesty. He tells it like it is. It is a view behind the scenes of NASCAR. He explains what it's like to be a driver in the greatest sport and a son of a racing legend.
Rating: Summary: AWESOME! Review: I was always a Wallace fan until recently.... Dale Jr proved with this book he is not only an incredible driver but he is intelligent. He talks and holds high regards for his family, friends and racing fans. That means a lot to a Nascar fan.
Rating: Summary: Driver #8 Review: An intense look into the life of a young race car driver's rookie season. Ups and downs, wins and losses and how each outcome is handled by this "young" man. An amazing "ride along" with the driver, race by race. I have a different outlook regarding drivers, pit crews and all involved in the racing business since reading this book. I really loved the kinship between all the teams. I don't think you find that type of friendship in other sports. It's a "must read" for all Nascar fans!
Rating: Summary: A excellent read! Review: I'm a "Driver #20" fan, but this book by Junior is simply wonderful. Oh, it's not all that deep, but it tells a great story. His first person accounts of the races from his in-car perspective are really interesting and book really moves along fast - I think I got through the whole thing in a single weekend. The neatest thing about it is that Junior's personality really comes through here in his writing style. If you've ever seen him interviewed on TV, you will perceive the same attitude (sort of a big swagger tempered by a lot of neophyte humbleness) here in print. I think that is pretty remarkable - this book is truly is told in the first person and you will feel as if you actually spent the 2000 Winston Cup year as a part of Junior's entourage when he's writing about events off the track, and you'll feel like you're "Wilson" when he's writing about the racing on the track. This is a super book - and it's not just for Nascar fans. I can't imagine anyone not enjoying this book.
