Book Reviews of On the Track with Jeff Gordon

Book Review: A fast biography of a speedster!
Summary: 4 Stars

Jeff Gordon is one of the lucky ones who found his passion at an early age - took to it & never looked back.

From BMX bicycles to 2.85-horsepower midgets to go-carts to open sprint cars with 650-horsepower engines pushing these little cars beyond 140 miles per hour, Jeff Gordon ate it all up & kept racing & winning. With black & white photographs, graphs of statistics, Career Highlights, technical data about all sorts of auto-racing & short, engaging histories of the various forms of auto-racing, the rest of the book, as they say, is history.

By the age of 21 he had become NASCAR's Rookie of the Year, breaking records, driving safely, losing some & winning most.

A plainly written autobiography of one of today's great drivers & heroes.

Summary of On the Track with Jeff Gordon

Jeff Gordon entered his first car race when he was only five years old, an age when most children are learning to ride a bike. From that time onward, he's been a champion in his chosen sport. From the quarter midget cars of his childhood, he moved on to go-carts, then sprint cars, and finally midget cars. Then, in 1991, he got his first taste of stock-car racing - and never looked back. After a few years of getting his feet wet in the Busch Grand National scene, he vaulted into the Winston Cup ring. In 1995, he was the youngest driver of the modern era ever to win the coveted Winston Cup. Two years later he proved his abilities were no fluke when he won the title again.
