DRAG RAC DRV TO WIN HAWLEY

The president of Joe Gibbs Racing—the winningest team in NASCAR history—shares the secrets of succeeding in business and in life. In NASCAR, as in life, the difference between winning and losing often comes down to being in the right place at the right time and making the most of every opportunity. Nobody understands that better than Dave Alpern. Dave started his career as an unpaid intern selling T-shirts for the newly formed Joe Gibbs Racing team. Nearly three decades later, he’s now the president of JGR, a multimillion-dollar elite, record-setting racing team with more than 500 employees. In Taking the Lead, Dave shares the wisdom he’s learned along the way: key principles that will equip you with what you need to rise to the top and succeed with integrity and purpose—whatever team you’re on.

Covers the development and tuning of race car by clearly explaining the basic principles of vehicle dynamics and relating these principles to the input and control functions of the racing driver. An exceptional book written by a true professional.

A companion resource to Joe Gibbs's dynamic book, the Racing to Win Study Guide elaborates on the biblical foundation of the cornerstone principles for success found at the end of each chapter. Each of eight study sessions includes: - Race Preparation -- Identify and reflect upon a personal experience relating to the session's topics. - Starting Line -- Engage the author's concepts and related biblical passages. - Behind the Wheel -- Put the book's principles into practice. - Final Lap -- Discover a truth you can integrate into your life with confidence. A personal prayer addresses that truth.
