In The Blink Of An Eye by Michael Waltrip

Dale, Daytona, and the Day That Changed My Life

A candid racing memoir that traces a driver's rise through NASCAR, the thrill of victory at the Daytona 500, and the shock and grief after a close friend’s fatal crash; told with reflection on the sport’s dangers, the personal cost of life in the fast lane, the changes in safety that followed, and the author’s struggle to find meaning, responsibility, and renewal in the aftermath.
