Dale Earnhardt Jr. is an American professional stock car racing driver, champion team owner, businessman, and television analyst for NBC Sports Group. He began his racing career at seventeen years of age with his dad, Dale Earnhardt Sr. He won consecutive NASCAR Busch Series Championships in 1998 and 1999 and the Daytona 500 in 2004 and 2014. Dale lives in Mooresville, North Carolina, with his wife, Amy, and their daughter, Isla Rose. Ryan McGee, an ESPN senior writer, is a five-time National Motorsports Press Association Writer of the Year and four-time Sports Emmy winner. In 2007 he wrote the script for the documentary Dale, about Earnhardt’s father, narrated by Paul Newman. He lives in Charlotte with his wife, Erica, and their daughter, Tara.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s only authorized book revealing the inside track on his final year of racing and retirement from the driver’s seat.
“Time was running out on my charade. . . . My secrets were about to be exposed to the world.”
When NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt Jr. retired from professional stock car racing in 2017, he walked away as a healthy man. But for years he had worried that the worsening effects of multiple racing-related concussions would end not only his time on the track but also his ability to live a full and happy life.
Torn between a race-at-all-costs culture and the fear that something was terribly wrong, Earnhardt started keeping private notes about his escalating symptoms. They showed a vicious cycle: suffering injuries on Sunday, struggling through the week, then recovering in time to race again. For the first time he shares these notes and fully reveals the physical and emotional struggles he faced as he fought to close out his career on this own terms.
In this candid reflection Earnhardt opens up about his frustration with the slow recovery, his admiration for the woman who stood by him through it all, and his determination to share his own experience so others don’t have to suffer in silence. Steering his way to the final checkered flag of his storied career proved to be the most challenging race—and most rewarding finish—of his life.
Put A Towel On It And Sleep It Off... Rub some dirt on it and walk it off.How many times did coaches say that?You have to tough it out, never show that you are hurt.We all have heard those words (as a coach, I said them).Even when it came to head injuries, it was downplayed. Now imagine being a racecar driver, modern day gunslingersand the closest thing to being a ground bound jet fighter pilotthere is, (racecars now have black boxes to calculate g-forces in wrecks),and your name is Dale Earnhardt JR, son of The Intimadator.After a very hard wall hit during a tire test things start going down hill rapidlyvision issues (eyes going right, objects going left), sleep issues, nausea, no balance,and you are afraid to say anything to anybody for fear of being labled "damaged goods".All of those things happened to Dale Jr.That is only the beginning; More wrecks came, more concussions , worse symptoms, longerlasting issues, mood swings, and overwhemling fear. Concussions, the horror word in sports. The thing no one wants to talk about. The carreer endingtaboo topic.Dale Jr. went down that rabbit hole and tells all in this book.I am a retired Paramedic and a soccer coach, so I am well informed on the subject of concussions,Dale Jr. lays it all out for people to see and hopefully become more aware of this type of injury.Outstanding story...Wonderful You don't have to be NASCAR fan who's followed Dale Jr. The entire time he raced to love this book. He tells his story to you so you understand why he retired. I saw and witnessed the crashes, I was always so scared for him, hoping he'd be okay. If he stopped racing after his father passed no one would of blamed him, but he kept going. For the race world then himself. But to kept racing feeling so badly shows his love and passion for the sport. To bring awareness to head trauma so others can find help. As a avid horseback rider in my youth competing in barrel racing ,I took some nasty spills. I struggled in school a lot and makes me wonder if maybe that was the reason? Makes a lot sense now and luckily I don't have any lasting effects. But if I had gotten a proper exam then maybe my high school days wouldn't of been so rough? The book makes you really look back in life and go maybe if? The importance of not waiting, to get help and admit. This ain't right.Dale Jr. I have always been your fan and always will be. In or out the car your a class act. I'm proud to wear your number. Always will be. Happiness always.Thank you Dale Jr! I know you needed to quit when you did and i understand that, this book helps with coming to terms with it on our side, this side that misses you most. You are doing awesome in the booth too!! Thanks for EVERYTHING!
