This book is AWESOME-a" MUSTHAVE "for NASCAR fans!!
Matt just happens to be a friend of mine through his writing at SPEEDFx.com. But this fact does not influence my rave reviews for this first novel of his. This is a book that is VERY hard to put down(and it's a LONG book)once you start reading it. It made me laugh and it made me cry-just what I like in a book. If you are a fan of NASCAR or racing in general, if you are a Dale Earnhardt or Tim Richmond fan, you must buy this book! I guarantee you will LOVE it! Anybody who bashes it just isn't a NASCAR fan-it's that simple!!

More than NASCAR
This book is much more than just a racing novel. It follows a young man along his journey to adulthood. Of course, he drives race cars all the way there. I could not put it down and have since re-read it several times. I recommend this book to any racing fan, from the casual to the enthusiast.

Great Subject, Lousy Book
Almost every day of the week, if you are a fan of NASCAR, you can read Mr. McGlaughlin's column on the internet. McLaughlin's columns usually take NASCAR to task for becoming a major league sport and wishes it could go back to the days of dumb hicks in the stands spitting tobacco while watching illiterate moonshiners drive beat up wrecks on a dirt track.Thankfully the sport has moved on and is now the nation's fastest growing sport. It's left unsophisticated rabble like McLaughlin behind, yet he continues to spew his dribble on the internet and in this book.Suprisingly enough he has crafted a book with an occasionally compelling story. It's far too long and overwrought at times, but it's readable if you really enjoy motorsports and aren't predisposed to disliking McLaughlin because of his anti-NASCAR columns and tone.If you're someone who longs for the "good old days" of NASCAR, maybe you'll like this book, but of course you might be illiterate so why would you be looking for books in the first place? If you're a fan of what NASCAR is today, I would avoid this book like the plague.
