Second place just wasn't good enough. Winning was the reason he rose from bed early and stayed at the track late into the night. In 22 years Earnhardt reached victory 97 times in Winston Cup competition. He won 76 Winston Cup races, six Busch Clash/Bud Shootouts, and 12 Daytona 125-Mile Qualifiers. And he was three times a winner in the Winston All-Star events. The Earnhardt Collection is the only book to chronicle this complete winning history. From his first win at Bristol in 1979 through his final checkered flag at Talladega in 2000, the reader will marvel at the coverage of each Dale triumph. Featuring many never-before-published photos of Dale Earnhardt on and off the track, we believe we have created the ultimate Earnhardt collectible.…

From the Inside Flap
As a youngster, he was heavily influenced by his fatehr. Ralph Earnhardt was one of the best short-track drivers in NASCAR history. He raced out of a garage at his home in Kannapolis, N.C., where he taught his son the nuances of car preparation.
Young Earnhardt was so taken by the sport that he wanted to follow in his father's footsteps. He wanted to race for a living.
But it would not be easy - Earnhardt knew that, yet he made it even harder on himself. He quit school. He married, and divorced, at a very young age. He tired to make ends meet by taking on odd jobs that took him away from home.
All the while, he tried to fashion a racing career. He raced when he could, most often with his own makeshirt, underfinanced operation. Sometimes he drove another's car.
He was determined to make it, to establish racing as his career.
In 1979 he landed a full-time NASCAR Winston Cup ride with team owner Rod Osterlund. He promptly earned his first victory and captured Rookie of the Year honors.
He made it. He won. But he wasn't content simply to be a member of stock car racing's elite. He waned to be the best. In 1980 he won his first Winston Cup championship. After some turbulent years, he joined team owner Richard Childress in 1984. Together, they made racing history.
Over the next 17 seasons, Earnhardt won 67 more races and six Winston Cup titles. He set records. He received honors. His aggressive driving style earned him praise from some and criticism from others. Yet all respected him, and he became the most recognized driver in NASCAR. He stood proud as the symbol of what the sport was all about. In his quest to be the best, he won.
He wanted more. Driving for the present was one thing; the furture was another. Earnhardt wanted to provide a foundation for the years ahead, a source from which he, and others, could continue to be a part of NASCAR and contribute to its growth.
He founded Dale Earnhardt Inc., and, in time produced three top-quality race teams that enahanced NASCAR's competition. One of those teams employs his sone, Dale Earnhardt Jr., today considered by many to be on of NASCAR's most able, and certainly most popular, drivers.
In the quest for a lasting legacy, Dale Earnhardt won. Earnhardt knew full well what hard times were like. When they ended for him, he decided he would do his best to help others avoid them. Quietly, he went about the business of charity. He never wanted attention; he only wanted results. It was only after his passing that many learned of the many contributions he made to others. In a quest for compassion for his fellow man, Earnhardt won.
It is as a race driver, however, that Earnhardt will be remembered best. Each of his victories serves as a testament to his skill, courage, and determination.
They are all recorded here, told in words and pictures by NASCAR Scene, the publication that was with Earnhardt for every year of his stellar career.
They tell us that, indeed, Dale Earnhardt was all about winning.

Shipping terms
DOMESTIC SHIPPING:
We offer a choice of media mail (when applicable), first class, priority and/or expedited whenever possible. Choices for shipping methods vary and will appear at checkout (as well as additional opportunities to purchase insurance, extra insurance, etc.). All domestic orders include tracking.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:
International shipping has become increasingly complex, but we do our best to keep up. If you have any questions regarding shipping to your country, feel free to reach out before you order. We will do our best to give you an exact quote.
All international orders include tracking and insurance. Expedited orders generally ship via USPS, DHL or Priority Mail International depending on the destination. Consolidated shipping is usually via Asendia or a similar, reliable carrier.
**VAT, Fees & Taxes: **
Where your country requires, and when under the value threshold set by your country, VAT is collected at checkout and remitted by the marketplace you ordered through. Any additional fees, duties, or taxes your country or carrier charges upon arrival are the buyer's responsibility (collected by your postal service or carrier when the package is delivered). The one exception is the European Union (see below).
The European Union:
As of 2026, the EU has added a new customs duty on every parcel entering the Union. Because of this, we are now required to prepay all duty and customs (DDP) before shipping, which is why you may notice that our EU rates run significantly higher than other countries. Additionally, on orders over 150 Euros, the full VAT tax due, over and above €150, is most often not collected by marketplaces at checkout. We may contact you through the marketplace you ordered to collect these additional VAT fees before shipping.
Typical speeds:
Although customs and overseas carrier delays sometimes happen and are outside of our control, the following should be a good guide (Business days only). If you need it faster, feel free to reach out. Sometimes we can achieve the “almost” impossible :)
