You do not have to be a Nascar fan to enjoy this fascinating adventure of Don Hawk's life and it will give each of you something you can take with you. The exhilerating ride on Hawk's journey to find out who he wants to be is moving... The book shares hard learned lessons such as: The struggle and choices he made career-wise. The joy of finding love...then having children. He experienced the pain of failure and the rewards of taking risks. Being asked to bend your principles and winning with integrity. Hawk exubes tremendous business savy,style,and flair. The empire he built at Dale Earnhardt Inc. is not remotely described in this book. Look at the dynasty he recently secured and left behind at DEI---Dale Earnhardt,jr. What Don Hawk has accomplished and achieved thus far truly makes him a legacy! It's been my pleasure to have met Don Hawk and I feel God sent him to help my husband and me. This book is correct is saying his ministry is in Nascar. Hawk has given me words of wisdom, guidence in the right direction, and a brutally honest education in the world of big business. All the while never comprising his integrity. A loving husband, father,son,and friend who is passionate about a sport called Nascar. I am truly excited to see what he has in store for us next. Indy/Cart together again? You never know...that's another story!

Reading this book dosen't take very long (it's only about 250 pages), but what you will find inside those limited pages is truly inspirational. Don Hawk came from extrememly humble beginings and is now in charge of the business career of the most successful race car driver of the last 30 years. Reading this book will show you that he has most definately lost that humility. I was a bit disappointed in the details of the deal that brought Hawk to Earnhardt Inc., but the events that lead him up to that point more than make up for it. It will truly touch your heart to see what Hawk went through just months before joining Earnhardt. This is a must for every Earnhardt and racing fan. It truly shows the heart behind the engines of NASCAR.

I loved it! Racing with the Hawk is the best book I have read about the Nascar life from a business perspective. Don Hawk has risen to the top of his profession without abandoning his integrity and personal relationships. An extremely interesting read for all lovers of Nascar, as well as a marketing primer! I highly recommend this book.

As a recent college graduate in Business/Marketing, and trying to det into Motorsports Marketing, I found this book to be AWESOME! This is a MUST for anyone that likes to be honest, truthful, and have integrity in any business. This is a very interesting book!

An insightful commentary into the life of Don Hawk, and his tremendous impact on Nascar Racing.

This book is not only a joke but it's a lie. What is the "Hawk" up to these days? Seems like if he had any intelligence he would still be a high powered agent.

THIS IS A MUST READ BOOK FOR ANYONE IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY.DEALS WITH HONESTY,INTERGERTY,AND THE NEVER QUIT ATTITUDE.NO MOUNTAIN IS TOO HIGH TO CLIMB ONCE YOU PUT YOUR HEART AND MIND TO ACCOMPLISH ANY GOAL IN LIFE.ESPECIALLY RECCOMEND FOR ANY ONE IN THE AUTO SERVICE AND SALES CARREER. HIGHLY RECCOMEND FOR ALL SENIORS IN SCHOOL TO SEE WHAT CAN BE POSSIBLE IN YOUR FUTURE IF YOU SET GOALS IN LIFE.AFTER YOU READ IT YOU WILL COME AWAY FEELING MUCH BETTER ABOUT YOUR FELLOW PERSON AND YOURSELF.
