In the Blink of an Eye: Dale, Daytona, and the Day That Changed EverythingThere was one lap to go in the 2001 Daytona 500, NASCAR's most celebrated event. Michael Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt Jr. were running one two. Junior's legendary dad, the driver race fans called "The Intimidator," was close behind in third, blocking anyone who might try to pass. Waltrip couldn't stop thinking about all the times he'd struggled to stay ahead and the 462 NASCAR Cup races he'd lost without a single win. He'd been a race car driver all his

There was one lap to go in the 2001 Daytona 500, NASCAR's most celebrated event. Michael Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt Jr. were running one-two. Junior's legendary dad, the driver race fans called "The Intimidator," was close behind in third, blocking anyone who might try to pass. Waltrip couldn't stop thinking about all the times he'd struggled to stay ahead -- and the 462 NASCAR Cup races he'd lost without a single win. He'd been a race-car driver all his adult life, following in the footsteps of his brother Darrell, a three-time NASCAR champion. And his losing streak was getting more painful every race.

But this day, he knew, could be different. He was driving for Dale Earnhardt now, racing as a team with his close friend and mentor. Yet as his car roared toward the finish line, ending that losing streak once and for all, Waltrip had no clue that the greatest triumph of his life could get mired in terrible tragedy.

This is the story of that fateful afternoon in Daytona, a day whose echoes are still heard today. But the story begins years earlier in a small town in Kentucky, with a boy who dreamed of racing cars, a boy who was determined to go from go-karts to the highest levels of NASCAR. For the first time ever, Michael Waltrip tells the full, revealing story of how he got to Daytona, what happened there, and the huge impact it had on so many in the racing world. He reveals for the first time how his own life changed as he dealt with guilt, faced his grief, and searched for the fortitude to climb into a race car again. It's an inspiring and powerful story, told with Michael's trademark humor, honesty, and irreverence. It's a story of family, fulfillment, and redemption -- and well-earned victory in the end.

Fits true to size
Size: 13 Years, Color: Light Blue
This hoodie fits true to size. It’s high quality, cozy inside and we love the blue color. I would consider it a great value for the price. We will be buying more colors for sure.

Sizing is not accurate!
Size: 9 Years, Color: Light Blue
I bought this for my granddaughter, who is 8 years old, and typically wears a size 8. I purchased the size 9, she likes oversized hoodies, even though the add already says it’s oversized. It was MAYyBE a size 6, it was tight on my six year old granddaughter. I sent it back, and am not reordering. I’m not going to keep guessing on sizing. I want to know that when I order the size she wears in Nike, Adidas, Target,etc. , that it’s going to be the same, and not have to keep returning items…

True to size, good quality
Size: 3T, Color: White, Size: 3T, Color: White
Great quality sweatshirts. I bought white to tie dye. They held the dye really well! They are true to size, but a little bit longer than most shirts. They fit my kids really well. They have also held up well in the wash, no shrinking at all!
