THE MAN IN BLACK ***** THE INTIMIDATOR May 3, 2006
Dale Earnhardt was The Man. #3 was The Car. they were the team that made the fear run through their fellow racers. Bump drafting and marking another race car with a tire print was part of Dale's game plan.
This book takes the reader behind the scenes in the early life of Dale and how he became the man behind the wheel on race tracks to earn 7 rimes The NASCAR Championship. His love for the race, his fans and especially his family is threaded throughout the book.
Daytona 2001 was to be the big race to begin a new season. With Dale driving for Richard Childress the famous black Monte Carlo #3 and having two of his own cars driven by Michael Waltrip and his youngest son, Dale Jr. it was an exciting day that was to be celebrated. But the final lap held Dale's fate in it's hands. Blocking the drivers behind him, he was helping his own two cars push to the checkered flag. They made it across the finish line with Michael winning the race.
Dale's final race ended with his entrance not to Victory lane at the trace but one far higher by death which took him to the pearly gates.
Many fans share their stories of dealing with the news of Dale's death as well as fellow drivers, team owners and NASCAR ececutives.
The book is well written with several pictures that are wonderful.
If you are a race fan, you will want to read this and add it to your NASCAR collection.
