Summary: JR in his own words...
Review: I don't know how to describe this book, unless to say it describes Earnhardt Jr. I didn't realize what a talent he had for writing and I am glad he opened his life up, in his owns words. Not really a biography, "Driver #8" follows Jr. throughout his first year in Winston Cup. He talks about how he felt during a particular race, how it feels to deal with the media, and just in general what it is like in his day to day life. I know, like any race fan, that Earhardt Jr. has a real talent for racing. This book proves that his talents reach far beyond the racetrack (not that I ever though otherwise), as well. Opening himself up and sometimes showing a different side, this book gave me a real idea of how he feels. This is a must own for any Jr. fan, or maybe just anyone who enjoys a little something different. One caution, if you are looking for a real in depth view of his life outside and before NASCAR, this isn't it. But don't let that fool you about how much it shows.

Summary: Dale Earnhardt Jr is more than just a driver
Review: Driver #8 is an excellently written book. The driver details his rookie season with so much feeling and description you feel the joy and pain right along with him the entire way. The end of the book is summed up with the Daytona 500 of last Feburary. Throughout the book you see this soon to be driving icon as more than an athlete, he's a person that anyone would love to know and be around. This is a book for anyone, racing lovers or haters.

Summary: For All Nascar Fans
Review: I waited a very long time for this book and let me tell you it was so worth the wait! This isn't for just Dale JR fans but for anyone who loves the sport of NASCAR! It gives you insight to what it is like to be him. From race day to all of the appearances all over you feel like your a part of his life. I read this book in 1 day it was so good I couldn't put it down. There is a small section of photos in the middle, which is a nice little touch. Anyone who has been a fan to Nascar for years or new fans should defintely buy this book to get a prespective of what it is like to be a Nascar driver. This book is the next best thing to being a buddy of JR's!
