DALE EARNHARDT JR.
Inside the Rise of a NASCAR Superstar

by Ron LeMasters Jr. and Al Pearce, with Photography by Nigel Kinrade and Harold Hinson

His dad's death five years ago had a sobering effect on Dale Earnhardt Jr. He didn't leave all the fun behind, but he did decide to focus more intensely on his career – and his perseverance paid off in 2004 with his most impressive victory to date: a Daytona 500 win.

Now only one thing is left on his agenda: capturing a national championship. That road will be tougher than it was for the legendary Dale Earnhardt Sr. The competition is tougher and the points race now concludes in a ten-race shootout, but Little E. will eventually find his way there.

This book offers a look at the life of the man who has become the face of NASCAR. Filled with outstanding photographs of Dale Jr., ranging from his early career to his most recent triumphs, and featuring interviews with those who have been there through it all, the book chronicles Dale Jr.'s ascent from the Andy Hillenburg driving school to 15 career Cup victories – and fills in what few know about this perennial favorite.

Hard cover, 192 pages.

Jeff Gordon:
The NASCAR Superstar's Story


From the Editors of Stock Car Racing Magazine

When Jeff Gordon burst onto the NASCAR scene in the early 1990s, he broke the stereotypical mold for a stock car racing champion. He was young, handsome, articulate, media-savvy and from California, not from "down South." He has withstood incredible resistance and tough on-track competition to become a four-time champion at NASCAR's highest level.

A mix of fresh writing and articles drawn from leading racing magazines Stock Car Racing and Circle Track create a thorough profile of Gordon as a racer and as an individual. This book covers his approach to driving, his team and cars, and his business savvy as a leading endorser and now a team owner.
