Another great who is book! This book covers so much in its short narrative. It covers everything from his first car to his retirement, his acting roles, and his father's tragic death. Once again, I learned so much I didn't know about Dale Earnhardt Jr. Great job!

Dale Jr was my favorite driver. I don't watch Nascar as much as I did when Dale raced. Haven't found a driver I like lately.

I have no interest in motor car racing so this was not one of my favorite books. Its a good one if you are into the sport.
