Dale Earnhardt & Stirling Moss

I Remember Dale Earnhardt

Dale Earnhardt was known as the Intimidator on the Nascar circuit. He truly was a living legend in the world of racing, but his life ended tragically in February 2001 when he was killed on the last lap of the Daytona 500. Dale Earnhardt's untimely death at age forty-nine shocked the racing world and the world at large.

Winston Cup

Although in recent years Dale Earnhardt had relinquished his No. 1 spot among Winston Cup drivers to others, he was still considered the greatest threat to win every time he took the wheel. Indeed, his craggy, mustachioed countenance remained as familiar to millions as any other sight in the Nascar world, and his greatness seemed to grow every time he raced.

Nascar's Rookie of the Year in 1979

Nascar's Rookie of the Year in 1979, Dale Earnhardt forged a career that included seven Nascar national championships, seventy-six career wins (including his lone Daytona 500 victory in 1998), and over $34 million in prize money, which is more than any other driver has ever won. Dale Earnhardt was as tough as they come behind the wheel, also earning the name of "Old Ironhead" in part because of his reputation for never backing down on the track, where close calls and bumps at nearly 200 miles per hour are part of the sport's inherent risk.

Stirling Moss: The Authorised Biography

The first authorized biography, with over 350 color photos, of an extraordinarily gifted and competitive sportsman. Stirling Caulfield Moss drove professionally in nearly 500 races until his near-fatal crash in 1962. By the end of his career, he had become racing's most famous and adored celebrity. Stirling Moss's tally of wins was proportionally higher than any other driver's, ever, by a wide margin.

Driving for Mercedes

From his first race in 1948 to his last, heady days of the early sixties and beyond, his life and career unfold in great detail: the family history and school days, his start on the track and entrance to the big league, his experience driving for Mercedes; the private races, and the crash and recovery. And, because the author enjoyed free range over every aspect of Stirling Moss's life, many of the amazing stories here have never been told before.
