In the Blink of an Eye is an auto-biography by Michael Waltrip, a NASCAR driver.  Michael was the youngest of five children and grew up in Owensboro, KY.  His older brother, Darrell, was the first to show interest in racing.  Michael grew up at home with is mother, while Darrell and his father were at the races every week.  Back then, they did not show many races on the television.  The only way Michael could follow what Darrell was doing, was to listen to the radio.  The only problem with that was, they lived in the county and had to drive for miles to pick up a signal and would listen to the races in the car with his mother.  “Can you imagine?  Driving an hour so we could listen to a race on the radio?  With your mom?  Things have changed quite dramatically since then”.
