Story
When NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt, Jr., retired from professional stock car racing in 2017, he walked away from his career as a healthy man. But for years, he had worried that the worsening effects of multiple racing-related concussions would end not only his time on the track but his ability to live a full and happy life. Torn between a race-at-all-costs culture and the fear that something was terribly wrong, Earnhardt tried to pretend everything was fine, but the private notes about his escalating symptoms that he kept on his phone reveal a vicious cycle.

Story
A person may not know anything about baseball, but they still likely know the name Babe Ruth. Others may not watch football, but they still likely know who Tom Brady is. And most people have never been to a stock car race, but they’ve likely heard of Richard Petty, along with his simple but fitting nickname: “The King”. Richard Petty is quite possibly the greatest driver in the history of stock car racing, and while some may debate that, nobody can argue that he is the winningest driver in the history of National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing-sanctioned events.

Story
Carroll Shelby wasn’t born to run. He was born to race - some of the fastest cars ever to tear up a speedway. The exciting new feature film Ford v Ferrari - starring Matt Damon as Shelby and Christian Bale as fellow racer Ken Miles - immortalizes the small-town Texas boy who won the notorious Le Mans 24-hour endurance challenge and changed the face of auto racing with the legendary Shelby Cobra. But there’s much more to his high-velocity, history-making story.

Great insight into a legend's career
- By Anonymous User on 10-06-2020
Publisher's Summary
"I purposely waited until I retired from driving so the book would encompass my entire career," says Jeff Gordon. "People are going to be able to read about me like they've never read about me before."
The first-ever authorized biography of Jeff Gordon, the four-time champion racing legend. For over a year, Garner interviewed and observed Gordon at races, at special events, and at home. The book is based on extensive interviews with Gordon as well as in-depth interviews with dozens of family members, friends, competitors, and colleagues, some of whom have never gone on the record before. Jeff speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about his childhood, his much publicized divorce, those he competed against, his family, and life after racing. Gordon's meteoric rise through racing's ranks is a classic American success story. Listeners will find inspiration in Gordon's candid take on his pivotal life episodes.
About the author:
Five-time New York Times best-selling author Joe Garner has become one of the premiere chroniclers of America's popular culture. With his seminal work, We Interrupt This Broadcast, he took publishing by storm, selling nearly 700,000 copies and hitting the New York Times best-seller list in two consecutive years. He has produced several other best sellers. His most recent New York Times and USA Today best seller is 100 Yards of Glory, about the greatest moments in NFL history, with Bob Costas. Gordon and Garner first worked together in 2006 on the multimedia book Speed, Guts & Glory, about landmark moments in NASCAR history.

The Narrator
The Narrator doesn’t know how to pronounce the name of the sport or other people’s names that are involved with the sport. Little frustrating.

Great Book, weird performance
The book was a great biography of Jeff, and it was fun to hear where he came from. The reader did a different voice for each person, which is fine when they’re reading fiction, but it’s really weird when they’re real people that you’ve heard speak many times and the impersonations are very inaccurate.

I am now a Gordon fan
I never really liked Gordon growing up watching him race since his 1st race as a child mainly because he won all the time and my driver, Rick Mast, who never won a cup race had my full attention. This book really made me a Gordon fan from all his off track work with kids and caring for other drivers off track as well. Great guy. I wish I knew all this growing up watching him so I could have been a Gordon fan but better late than never. Great book!

Great book, terrible impersonations
A definite must listen for fans of Jeff Gordon and/or Nascar. I loved the stories and history of Jeff's career but really got tired of the bad attempts at impersonating people's voices by the reader.

2 stars were generous
A Jeff Gordon fan through and through which is why it hurts me to give this fluff piece anything but 1 star but I can’t go lower then 2 cause I have been a fan for 20 years. The horrible fake accents made this listen super annoying and kind of childish .i learned nothing more than I had already known by television announcers over 20 years . This hurts me as a die hard fan . Sorry Jeff it ain’t the best and you made being the best an achievable dream
