“Derek has a wealth of knowledge and experience to offer to race car drivers who desire to become champions—champions in racing and champions in life. This book is filled with ‘wow, I didn’t know that . . . or wow, I wish I had known that earlier,’ so read it; use it; and do it!”

—Lyn St. James, Indianapolis 500 driver, motivational speaker, author

“Firstly, I think this book is great! The last section on desire and commitment moved me to tears and is so very true.”

—Gloria Budd, sports psychologist

“It’s impressive. I’m not sure which is more so: the well thought-out concept for building champion drivers, or Derek’s wealth of great stories from his personal experience. The stories really serve to illustrate the points he makes about what it takes to succeed. Very informative and different from the usual motorsport book.”

—Bob Varsha, commentator, Speed TV

“I just drive fast and learned my craft by doing it. This book, however, captures how the future generation can put it all together at an even higher level. I’m not a reader, but this is worth it.”

—Paul Tracy who is he?
