Seven-time Winston Cup champion Dale Earnhardt, whose aggressive driving style and incredible will to win earned him the respect of the motorsports world, was a legend in his own time. He single-handedly rewrote much of auto racing history, and his tragic death on the track in 2001 devastated his legions of devoted fans. For them, there is this fabulous action-packed tribute, filled with color and rare black-and-white photographs, numerous quotes by and about "The Intimidator," and extensive listing of his career statistics. Every moment of Earnhardt's meteoric rise from upstart to superstar is documented, from the first day he pulled up to the starting line in 1979 to his final lap at the Daytona 500. Thrill to the story of this determined NASCAR champion as he battles it out on the rough dirt tracks of North Carolina, achieves dominance throughout the 1980s and 90s, and keeps on winning until that last, fatal day.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great coffeetable book for an old time fan,
By
This review is from: Dale Earnhardt: 1951-2001 (Hardcover)
I'm not sure what the other negative reviewers are talking about. This is a good book, has some really cool moments highlighed in it. There are some really cool pitures and stories, even ones that were new to me. You have to be a true fan to like this book. It's not ABOUT his death at all, although the author briefly covers it. It is primarily about his life!

DISORGANIZATION,
By
This review is from: Dale Earnhardt: 1951-2001 (Hardcover)
AS happens with CART, NASCAR is sometimes an amateur organizati9on, making unbelivable blunders. Compared to the FORMULA ONE environment, they are amateurs, really. Concerning security, the difference is abysmal.

Too Much Hype,
By Uncle Ed "formulaoneracer" (palm Beach Gardens, fl USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dale Earnhardt: 1951-2001 (Hardcover)
Spent too much time reading an over hyped bio of a sports figure. The cause of death was too sensationalized. Book was bland. Frank Moriarty did not cover the issue of the total lack of safety by NASCAR. They are to blame for unsafe cars, races, and procedures.In short I wasted money to buy, wasted time to read, and wound up throwing the book out
