Co-authored with Jade Gurss, the book is a witty, engaging autobiography that chronicles Waltrip’s life and career in stock car racing. It covers: • His early days starting as a go-kart champion in grade school. • His rise through the ranks to become one of NASCAR’s most successful drivers. • Key highlights including his three Winston Cup championships (1981, 1982, 1985), 84 career wins, and memorable rivalries/victories. • Stories and memories involving racing icons like Dale Earnhardt, Richard Petty, David Pearson, Jeff Gordon, and Tony Stewart. • His transition from active driving to retirement and his new role as a popular color commentator (e.g., for Fox Sports). The title plays on the circular nature of racetracks and the “going around in circles” phrase, while framing his life as a thrilling, dream-fulfilling journey in NASCAR—full of highs in Victory Lane, challenges, and personality-driven anecdotes. It’s described as straightforward, humorous, and insightful into the sport’s evolution.
