DRIVER #8

Whether you're talking about father or son, the name Dale Earnhardt IS NASCAR. DRIVER #8 is Dale, Jr.'s, story--telling of how he reached the pantheon of auto racing. David Thomas's reading fits the author and his story well. His Southern voice and down-home charm recount how Dale, Jr., handled growing up amid his father's fame and how he worked to create his own identity. This book is not just for fans. It's an easy listen about auto racing and its personalities, who have more impact on popular culture than spectators might imagine. D.J.S. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/SEP 02]
