And there are many others in between, including Earnhardts famous "pass in the grass" at Charlotte in 1987 to beat Bill Elliott and his "spin and win" victory over Terry Labonte at Bristol in 1999. The book and audio CD also include Earnhardts reaction to the first Winston Cup victory of his son Dale Jr.
This unique CD packaged with the book contains actual race calls, as well as pre- and postrace interviews with the Intimidator himself and with the competitors who lined up against him each week.
