It should come as no surprise to anyone that when Dale Earnhardt Jr writes a book it would be a bestseller.

In his autobiography, Driver #8, Earnhardt details the highs and lows of his 2000 rookie season in NASCAR's Winston Cup series.

The book is written by Earnhardt Jr from his perspective -- while Budweiser PR man Jade Gurss helped with the typing.

 
 

At 25 years of age Junior sets out on his 1st year in Winston Cup racing.

While he competed in the Busch series the previous 2 years -- and won 2 consecutive championships -- it would pale by comparison to his first year in Cup.

In the Busch series Dale Jr could come and go as he pleased -- without a throng of media and fans surrounding him.

 

Now he was being thrust into the white hot spotlight of fame that was NASCAR's Winston Cup series.

While medial attention would grow more intense, so would competition on the track -- Junior was driving faster cars, and competing against faster drivers. He would have to take his performance up more than a notch.

Was he up to it -- find out in Driver #8!

You'll find out how Dale Jr developed a winning chemistry with his crew, and learn what it meant to him to get his 1st Cup win -- just 7 races into the season.

Tag along with Junior from the high banks of Daytona to his home in Mooresville, North Carolina.

Find out what it was like to hang around with Rolling Stones writer Toure' for his 1st interview with the rock 'n roll magazine.

Dale Earnhardt Jr's 1st person account of that 1st year takes you behind the scenes in the life of a NASCAR star.

He talks about how it feels to win a race -- and how it feels to lose one. What it's like to deal with the media -- and how he handles a rush of excited fans.

Earnhardt Jr shares a glimpse into his personal life too -- see what it's like to hang out with him in Club E -- the private nightclub he built in his basement where he once hosted a New Year's eve party for 600.

 
 

Driver #8 also contains 16 pages of photos showing the life and times of Dale Earnhardt Jr.

This book was originally published in hardback by Warner Books in December, 2002. It is also available in paperback.

Sales of Driver #8 have been phenomenal. The book spent 17 weeks on the New York Times Bestseller list.

 

Dale Jr had help with the book from Jade Gurss, the owner of Fingerprint, Inc.

Budweiser hired Fingerprint to handle media and public relations for Budweiser in NASCAR, as well as their driver Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Other books to his credit include “DW: A Lifetime Going Around in Circles,” the Darrel Waltrip story.

Gurss helped Dale Earnhardt capture all the gritty details of a year in NASCAR’s top season -- and a year in his life.
