About this audiobook
One of the NASCAR circuit's greatest celebrity racers, Jeff Gordon is a favorite of motorsports fans around the country. This is the 100%-true story of the making of an American racing legend. After competing in BMX races at just four years old, Jeff ran his first quarter-midget car race at the tender age of five years old. Can you imagine that? At that age, most kids don't even know how to ride a bicycle let alone drive a race car! He began racing stock cars in 1991, and soon after started competing for the most prestigious trophy in all of motorsports, the coveted Winston Cup. And you know what? It only took him four short years of 200-mile-per-hour-plus driving to win it. And then he won it again! A thrill-a-minute biography, it will have young NASCAR fans' adrenaline pumping like they're on that fateful last lap at Talladega.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The reason I read this story was because when I used to watch Nascar my favorite racer was Jeff Gordon. So reading all of these new facts about him that I never knew before was intriguing to me. For instance, before I read this story I had no idea that Jeff Gordon started racing cars at four years old. I also liked how the author described the different races Gordon raced with so much detail. He really put a good mental picture in my head and I felt as if I was there in the action. Although I did like some parts of this story, I wish that it was written in the first person. If it had been written in the first person it would have been even more powerful and even dramatic. This was a pretty good story but it would have been a great story if it had been written in the first person.
