Jeff Gordon: His Dream, Drive & Destiny is a New York Times best seller!
“I purposely waited until I retired from driving so the book would encompass my entire career,” says Jeff Gordon. “People are going to be able to read about me like they’ve never read about me before.”
“We reveal some things that are definitely a little controversial, whether it be my divorce or talking about my parents’ separation, as well as the relationship between Jimmie Johnson and I. Although I’m a huge supporter of his and friend of his, how that has been challenged over time, as well as the separation with Ray Evernham when he left the team. It hasn’t always been great, perfect and happy times. It was tough to tell myself that if I’m going to write a book, I want it to be done in a way that shows who I truly am and the things I went through and not hold back. I think Joe Garner did an excellent job of pulling that out of me, although it was hard at times.”

Additional Details
The first-ever authorized biography of Jeff Gordon, the four-time champion racing legend. For over a year, Garner interviewed and observed Gordon at races, special events, and at home. The book is based on extensive interviews with Gordon – as well as in-depth interviews with dozens of family members, friends, competitors, and colleagues, some of whom have never gone on the record before. Jeff speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about his childhood, his much publicized divorce, those he competed against, his family, and life after racing. This fully illustrated hardcover biography will allow privileged access to a wealth of exclusive unseen and rare material from Gordon’s personal photo and memorabilia collection. Gordon’s meteoric rise through racing’s ranks is a classic American success story. Readers will find inspiration in Gordon’s candid take on his pivotal life episodes.

KarenMarch 5, 2017Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! I laughed. I cried. As a Jeff Gordon fan, I already knew a lot of the information, but to relive and read the details of some of the things that were not so public was wonderful. Thank you, Jeff for sharing this book. We appreciate you, your wife, Ingrid, your children, Ella and Leo, Rick Hendrick, and your parents. We were sad to hear that you were not going to race anymore, but to extend your time to Nascar Fox as an announcer has helped us. I really enjoyed the book.

Jim RobertsonMarch 3, 2017Just finished reading my copy of "JEFF GORDON - His Dream, Drive & Destiny". Man, what a fantastic book. There was a ton of information in there that I was not aware of before reading this. Absolutely the best book I have ever read. And I was also thrilled to see everyone mentioned in the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ... especially my friend Dan Guffey. The construction of this book is also top notch and I will be keeping mine on display on my desk here at home. Just want to take this opportunity to thank Jeff for the years of enjoyment watching him race and also for the chance for me to purchase one of these books for myself. I have been a major Canadian fan of Jeff's for years and will remain so for years to come ... no matter what endeavour he decides to undertake. My fan group "Jeff Gordon Loyal Followers" will also remain active as a tribute to Jeff's excellent list of achievements as well as to be able to follow him after his retirement from driving. Thank you once again Jeff and I will treasure this book forever ... and, when the time comes, it will be handed down to my grandson Landon, who is also a devoted Jeff Gordon fan ... even at the age of 10.
