Great Subject -- Well Researched -- Nicely Displayed

Race car fans, Mark Martin fans, Arkansans. This is an awesome book! It's a mini-biography about a fella from Arkansas who is determined to win! It's a look at what makes a race car driver tick, and how addicting the sport can be. Mark even says that winning is just like a drug -- it's addictive.I'm quite proud of this book and I'm proud that Mark Martin and I share the same home town. Batesville, Arkansas.

he's the man

I like how he races his car in every race. He's better than other drivers I know.6 6 6 6 go go go race your car all the way through each race.Being your fan forever.I want you to drive more better than the others.

Outstanding cronology of the racing career of Mark Martin.

This book is an insightful look into the life of Mark Martin. Certainly a must read for any Martin fan or fan of motorsports. It takes a special mix of natural talent, desire and tenacity to achieve the pinnacle of success as a NASCAR Winston Cup Driver and "Driven To Race" gives you a forthright look into how he was molded by his father, other racers and most of all lifes experiences to become the gutsy, gritty competitor that he is today. Nothing is held back and you won't be able to lay it down until you are finished.

Very private look into Mark's private and public life.

I have to say that I was surprised that Mark showed as much of his childhood and personal life as he did. I found this book to be more of a diary then a publication. What a tribute this book is to Mark's dad. It was very informative as to his struggles and his trimphs. I now have a greater understanding of what these extrodanary athletes have to go through for their SPORT. I am a very dedicated MARK MARTIN fan and I guess that I am bias. I do recommend this book for ANY NASCAR fan.

Great insight into a young man's dream of being a racer.

This book was excellent. With my love of Nascar and of Mark Martin this book was an experience for me. I am a young person trying my best to get into Nascar and reading this book gave me ideas as well as a friend. It let me know that I was not the only one who is having to struggle to make it to the top. For it seems like other drivers get there very quickly. Mark Martin's book is wonderful and anyone interested in racing should read it.
