| Dale Earnhardt Jr: Standing Tall in the Shadow of a Legend | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
In a sudden, three-year rush, Dale Earnhardt Jr. has become NASCAR's most significant superstar, the first to truly transcend the traditions of stock-car racing and carry the sport to the pages of People, Rolling Stones, and even Playboy. Young Earnhardt embodies the legacy and tragedy of his father, seven-time NASCAR champion Dale Earnhardt, killed at Daytona in February 2001, and he has carried that legacy rightly and modestly to victory in NASCAR's major league. Yet, Junior, even under the magnifying glass, has created a sphere in which he has become a man in his own right. In association with Circle Track and Stock Car Racing and its veteran NASCAR contributor Benny Phillips, Dale Earnhardt Jr. brings you close to this engaging young man, and close to the quiet center of a roaring phenomenon. Phillips, a 40-year veteran of the NASCAR garages and a friend of Earnhardt Sr., tells the story, with illustrative articles from Circle Track and Stock Car Racing. The photography, from Primedia sources and from top NASCAR lensman Nigel Kinrade, is illustrative and spot-on.

I think this was a good book. I liked this book alot. The only bad thing was that some of the words are big and difficult to understand. If I had to do a project on Dale Earnhardt Jr. I would use this book a one of my major sources. I gave this book a four since the words were hard to find what they mean. If you like nascar and you dont like him this book will change how you feel about him. This book also tells how he got his "thing" for the sport of stock car racing. It also tells in the back of the book how much he got for each race which I thought it was very interesting. So if you are looking for a good information about dale earnhardt jr, or just want something interesting to read so you go out and buy this book. Trust me it is well worth the cost.
