Product Description:
Dale Earnhardt was known as the Intimidator on the NASCAR circuit. He truly was a living legend in the world of racing, but his life ended tragically in February 2001 when he was killed on the last lap of the Daytona 500. Earnhardt's untimely death at age forty-nine shocked the racing world and the world at large.
Although in recent years Earnhardt had relinquished his No. 1 spot among Winston Cup drivers to others, he was still considered the greatest threat to win every time he took the wheel. Indeed, his craggy, mustachioed countenance remained as familiar to millions as any other sight in the NASCAR world, and his greatness seemed to grow every time he raced.
NASCAR's Rookie of the Year in 1979, Earnhardt forged a career that included seven NASCAR national championships, seventy-six career wins (including his lone Daytona 500 victory in 1998), and over $34 million in prize money, which is more than any other driver has ever won. Earnhardt was as tough as they come behind the wheel, also earning the name of 'Old Ironhead' in part because of his reputation for never backing down on the track, where close calls and bumps at nearly 200 miles per hour are part of the sport's inherent risk.
In I Remember Dale Earnhardt, the Intimidator is remembered through hundreds of anecdotes, stories, and insights recounted by fellow drivers, team members, NASCAR officials, and friends and associates. Together they offer a unique and touching reminiscence of one of the greatest and most charismatic race car drivers ever to climb behind the wheel.

I started watching NASCAR in the late 80's and instantly became a Dale Earnhardt fan. I followed his career and road the roller coaster of good years and bad years. I learned everything I could possibly learn about the man. When I read this book, I learned so much more!
It's one thing to be a fan and to read about or hear about your driver. But to hear personal stories from the people who were closest to him and knew him best is just a whole other world. With stories from Ken Shcrader, Jeff Gordon, Bud Moore, Junior Johnson, Humpy Wheeler and many more NASCAR personalities that knew him intimately, this is definitely THE essential Dale Earnhardt book. At the risk of sounding like an advertisement, if you only read one book about Dale Earnhardt, make it this one!

In the book, I expected a lot more stories and anecdotes from racers; I could barely find any. But that's a minor detail. I am a hard-core Dale Earnhardt fan, and this book was very heart-warming. I love all the personal stories of Dale! I haven't gotten a chance to look at it all yet, but it's a wonderful book. I was not a huge racing fan (like I am now) when most of Dale Earnhardt's terrific achievements took place, and this book took me to that land. I'd like to thank whoever's book this is, because all I wanted was a book of tidbits like this, and now I have it. I completely treasure this book. If you are only looking for stories from racers like Jeff Gordon and Jeff Burton (some of my personal faves) this may not be right for you, but if you luv the Earnhardts as much as I do, don't hesitate.
