Once Around the Track

I just finished "Once Around the Track" & I really liked it. I tell you, if you really want to get an insider's view of a NASCAR team, this is a good book for it. You see how it's not just about the driver (as lots of people think). The entire team makes or breaks a race ... and in this book it just happens to be an all-female team (except for the driver, Badger). I really liked the dynamics throughout the book between the different team members & their reasons for joining the team. I could totally see "Ward" in the book & that made me smile SO much! The book is great but if you aren't intersted in NASCAR I definitely wouldn't recommend it. If you want to see what all the fuss is about, give it a try ... it's well worth the time!!! ☺

Once Around the Track

So, Jerrie was kind enough to check out "Once Around the Track" for me. It's funny, I had checked it out before but never even got the chance to open it. So, I open it last night & check out the dedication page & I was totally shocked ... it's dedicated to WARD BURTON!!! Now, you are probably saying, "Who is Ward Burton?" He is only my FAVORITE NASCAR driver ... I love him!!! Then I flipped to the back & apparently she used him as a source for NASCAR information & such ... and even based the main character, Badger, loosely on Ward. I didn't get too far in the book (I was very tired last night) but I'm very excited to delve deeper & see how the book plays out. FUN!!!
