Summary

Buckle up because Paula is in the fast lane this week with Hall of Fame NASCAR driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr! Just a few years ago he took his final lap around the track, got married and now has two little girls, whom he dotes over daily. His daughters even inspired his latest act - authoring "Buster’s Trip to Victory Lane", a children’s book with the message that sometimes we all need a little inspiration to make it to the finish line. That theme of perseverance is something Dale Jr. knows a lot about. He takes Paula back to the moment he told his dad, legend Dale Earnhardt Senior, that he felt called to racing, how his greatest lessons came from making mistakes along the way, and why he believes we shouldn’t retire “from” something but instead “to” something. This episode is packed with encouragement, heart and warmth to help get you in the “groove” for all the laps to come!
