At the Altar of Speed by Leigh Montville (2001)

I actually got the audio tape version of the book. I listened to it while I was cooking dinner for about 4 days. The book really makes you feel like you knew Dale and his family. I guess you could say it gives you "his" perspective about life, love, family, & racing. I recomend this book (or audio book) to anyone. However, I think a Nascar fan,like me, would get more out of this biography.
