Jeff- shown as he is:A TRUE champion

This book depicited Jeff as how he is. A human being like everyone elso who just happens to have an amazing talent for race car driving. It has great quotes from Jeff, his father, and other race car drivers. This is the story of his life, and how he became who he is: a champion inside and out. This is a MUST for all Jeff Gordon fans.

Jeff Gordon - The Man Behind the Persona

Quotes from Jeff's mother, step-father, friends and relatives help you to understand this man that has become a superstar in the world of Winston Cup Racing. There are stories about his early years of racing and the track he followed that lead him to Winston Cup Racing. It was interesting to learn that in his early years of racing, just as today, people couldn't believe that Jeff was as talented as his achievements indicated. They gave credit to the car, the team, etc. He may seem like an overnight superstar until you read where Jeff started, and the road he traveled to become a 3 time Winston Cup Champion. I enjoyed the stories about Brooke and Jeff, how they met, a glimpse of the shy Jeff as he started his relationship with Brooke and Brooke's influence on Jeff's spiritual growth. Gary Thomas covers the significant Winston Cup Races well. He describes the key points of each race in a way that even a racing novice could understand. The book includes a glossary of racing terminolody for the novice.Included are interesting facts about other race car drivers and their interactions with Jeff, such as Dale Earnhardt teaching Jeff how to draft at Daytona.Overall, this book was a fun and interesting read and you don't have to be a race fan to enjoy it.I only wish that there would have been more pictures.

An interesting up to date story of Jeff Gordon's life.

For anyone who doesn't believe that Jeff Gordon earned his fantastic achievements, this is the book to read. It details from Jeff having incredible eye hand coordination as a toddler, to the end of 1998 with his 3rd Winston Cup Championship. The book gives enough information about individual races without overdoing it,and enough information about his family and himself to truly realize that he will eventually be known as the best race car driver of all time. I would have appreciated some more photographs of his career.

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME
