After a couple of seasons of small-town racing, things are shifting into high gear for a young dirt-track driver with the skills to make it big. Trace Bonham has landed a corporate sponsor and a custom-built dream ride. But, this means Trace can no longer pilot his dad's Street Stock Chevy, and must let a new kid get behind the wheel. It also means having to turn his back on his hometown speedway, which his team leaders think is a hayseed operation not worth their time, even though it's run by a girl who matters to Trace in a big way. Filled with authentic racecar action and detail, Will Weaver's fast-paced novel is the story of a boy struggling with the speed and demands of his own success.
"Weaver draws from his auto-racing experience to continue Trace's story from Saturday Night Dirt (2008) and to bring to life the small-town, dirt-track racing world. Racing action, sharp dialogue and solid characterization make this a good bet for young sports fans."
Kirkus Reviews
"There is no doubt that Weaver knows his way around stock cars, and he puts the reader in the middle of the action."
VOYA
"The novel is likely to appeal to youngsters who normally shy away from fiction."
