This time around, the NASCAR legend has intrigued his young fans in the form of the adventures of the lovable character, Buster.

It became a cherished addition to children’s libraries, and its success encouraged Earnhardt Jr to delve into the world of storytelling once more.

In Buster Gets Back On Track, Buster returns for a thrilling off-road adventure. This time, the story touches upon the important subject of handling difficult emotions. As Buster navigates the challenges of racing school, young readers will be taken on a journey where they discover how to stay calm even when things don’t go as planned. The emotional depth of the story is sure to resonate with both children and their parents alike.

During the interview with the TODAY Show, co-host Sheinelle Jones asked Dale Earnhardt Jr about the inspiration behind this project. She inquired, “Let’s talk about your second children’s book. It’s called ‘Buster Gets Back on the Track.’ You already wear so many hats… Why this project?”

In response, Junior shared, “Well, being a father and collecting a lot of children’s books, they’re great gifts that people tend to give you. And we have created such a library at the house with all these children’s books. You know, I think I was interested in the challenge of writing one. And Buster is a unique character. That’s my dad’s name when he was a little boy, right? And so I thought, what a great name for a character.

“The car that Buster is, his character is derived from a car that my father raced in the ’70s at a local racetrack,” he added. “And all of the names in the book are friends. They’re kinda connected to the people in my life. So that was really an unexpected fun part of the project. [It] was like weaving in your personal life into the characters and so forth. And then telling the people that are in your life, hey, this is you in the book, this children’s book, this is your character. That was pretty fun.”

Ahead of the interview with the TODAY Show, Dale Jr took to Twitter through his team JR Motorsports to tell his fans about the chance of winning a copy of the book.
