Add to basketPaperback. TROPHIES AND SCARS is the profoundly personal, sincere, and remarkably revealing story of the life and times of NASCAR Hall of Famer Ray Evernham. Starting out with a rollicking trip through his early days racing modifieds on the Jersey shore, Evernham recounts how a brief and downright volatile stint on Alan Kulwicki's crew sparked a seminal partnership with racing phenom Jeff Gordon. They would prove to be one of the most potent racing duos in history. Evernham shares previously untold tales of how the duo led the No. 24 team to three championships in four seasons (1995, 1997, 1998) and a series-leading forty-seven wins, revealing in candid detail how and why their storied relationship came to an end. Evernham traces all the twists and turns of his life. Read about how he built Evernham Motorsports, his transformation to a TV personality with roles on SPEED, ESPN, ABC, FOX, and NBC, and his role as host of his own TV series, AmeriCarna, on the Velocity channel. You needn't be a racing fan to appreciate Evernham's inspiring journey of tireless persistence, radical determination, steadfast leadership, and fearless reinvention. For as he believes, a life lived to the fullest is packed with trophies - and scars. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
