Excellent condition, with minimal shelf wear, there are some spots where the finish has been removed, probably with the removal of a label. Unused and unmarked book.Stated Limited Edition. ; 11.3 x 8.8 x 0.7 inches; 142 pages; The fast and furious sport of NASCAR racing has produced more than its share of heroes and champions, but few have ever achieved the legendary status of Dale Earnhardt. Known as "The Intimidator," Earnhardt made a name for himself as a fierce competitor, a man with ambition and passion who would never be satisfied being anything less than the best. His sudden and tragic death during the final lap of the Daytona 500 sent a shock wave through the racing community, leaving legions of NASCAR followers to mourn an unbelievable loss. Featuring full-color photos from the entire spectrum of Earnhardt's career, Dale Earnhardt: Always a Champion offers reactions from colleagues and fans on the lasting impression made by the respected NASCAR driving. It also presents a solemn perspective on the loved ones he left behind -- his family and his sport -- and their respective struggles to move on without him. First and foremost, however, Dale Earnhardt: Always a Champion is a tribute to the life of this extraordinary human being. When Dale Earnhardt first appeared on the NASCAR circuit in 1975, it was clear that he would be a driver to watch out for. He emerged victorious in race after race, eventually winning a record seven Winston Cup championships, and showing fans and rivals alike that the Man in Black was a force to be reckoned with. Dale Earnhardt: Always a Champion chronicles these and other notable events of the Intimidator's life, including his early attempts to find a place in the racing world, his 20-year battle to claim victory at the Daytona 500, and the unique relationship that he shared with his sons Kerry and Dale Jr. - the third generation of Earnhardts to find fame on the racetrack. Earnhardt himself was a man who inspired both loyal devotion and bitter hatred from NASCAR followers, earning his nickname for the aggressive, winner-take-all spirit of his driving. Love him or hate him, however, everybody agreed that he was worth watching, and worth respecting. Simply put, Dale Earnhardt is considered by many to be the greatest race car driver who has ever lived, and quite possibly the greatest who ever will. The sport itself has a permanent void where Earnhardt used to be, and it mirrors the one that has set itself in the hearts of those who thrilled to watch him. Few had the ability with a race car that Earnhardt had, and his talent on the track will be missed. .
