Rolling Thunder Stock Car Racing: Inside Pass (Rolling Thunder)

By Don Keith and Kent Wright

"You ready, kid?" Rob smiled. "I was ready when I crawled out of the rack this morning." The guard has definitely changed. Talented but brash young stars like Rocket Rob wilder are flexing some muscle on the super speedways. The message? If you can't hand on to first place...step aside. But no way are the wily and track-trained veterans ready to concede defeat and drive off to greener pastures. No sire. These young lions have a fight on their hands. In stock car racing, knowing how to win is not just tough talk and a pretty smile. It's not just the checkered flag either. Or the prize money and the endorsements. It's not the fame. Or the thousands of cheering fans chanting your name. It's the thrill. And without the thrill, you might as well be dead.

Another great book in the Rolling Thunder series!!

This book is another fine one in the Rolling Thunder series. It follows young "Rocket" Rob Wilder as he makes his first Winston Cup start after success in the Busch Grand National series, and also his first attempt to start the Daytona 500. Rob Wilder is a young man who lives to race. "You ready, kid?" Rob smiled, "I was ready when I crawled out of the rack this morning."I enjoyed this book every bit as much as the others. I see a bit of Jeff Gordon's influence on Rob's character in the book, as Rob is a clean-cut, clean-living young man who has a beautiful girlfriend, Christy. Christy's older sister, Michelle, is the marketing rep for Rob's sponsor, Ensoft, a software house. But... could Michelle also have taken a liking to the brash young driver, more than a professional interest?Get the book and find out.....
