The impact of the Earnhardt family in my life and career has been immeasurable. Ive practically watched Kelley Earnhardt Miller grow from that confident little girl hanging out with her dad and brother at the racetrack in the early eighties to a successful businesswoman today. Kelley is a person of utmost integrity and has a work ethic like none other. As a result of that hardworking attitude, Im confident that this book will succeed. Kelley is not only a special friend to the Childresses, but I consider her to be a part of our family.

Through the great sport of fishing I have been very blessed to have come to know many extraordinary people from all walks of life. I have fished with presidents, prime ministers, leaders of industries, and people in the conservation world. Of all the people, including some real characters, I would place Dale Earnhardt Sr. right up at the top of the list of truly remarkable individuals. In many ways, Kelley is a chip off the ol block. Just like her dad and famous brother, she is one of my heroes. She has the same Earnhardt savvy, drive, fire in the belly, and determination but just happens to be a littleor maybe a lotmore organized. Thanks, Kelley, for sharing your inspirational life story with no holds barred. I love you, and I love this book!

Kelley has revealed the paradigm of courage, wisdom, and beauty that she truly is, both inside and out, and presented it in typical, heartfelt Earnhardt fashion to win and help others win as well.

Drive is an amazing insight into the personal and professional mind of one of the most well-respected leaders in our NASCAR garage.
