This review is from: Dale Jarrett : Son of Thunder (Stock Car Racing Superstar) (Paperback)

In life when you attempt something 129 time before you're victorious, most people would give up. Dale Jarrett started 129 races before winning his first race and today he ranks fourth on the all-time money list with over $21 million in earnings.

These are but a few of the things you'll find in this book. You'll also read about his 1999 Winston Cup Championship, his 1993 win in Daytona, his wins in Darlington, Charlotte and Michigan. You'll meet his crew and even get a glimpse of the owner of his team.

An interesting and quick read, this book provides you with a look at a true racing legend. Sports Publishing Inc. has given you another winner in the Racing Superstar Series.

This story is very good. It is a personal account of Dale Jarrett and his father, Ned Jarrett. Worth the read.
