Overview
In this first novel in a series, a sophisticated Los Angeles digital journalist assigned to cover the Denton 500's RaceWeek discovers she's underestimated the stock-car-racing scene. Her assignment also reveals her new destiny, after a mysterious escort rescues her from a meddling FBI agent only to deliver her heart to the motorsport's star. Accounts of the motorsport's founding, Big Bill France's construction of Denton International Speedway, and other stock-car racing lore-and an unexpected trip to the stock-car association's Charlotte, North Carolina community-open the SoCal journalist's eyes. She learns not just of the sport's rich history but also of its possibilities. She also discovers that she has a lot to learn about life, the world, and herself. Accompany a maturing soul into the heart of stock-car racing. And maybe learn something about the motorsport, America, life, and yourself.

Fred Vander Ploeg is a former test driver of IndyCars for Roger Penske, having test driven shakeout laps for some of Penske's most-famous IndyCar drivers. Fred moved from IndyCar to NASCAR long ago and has since then spent decades doing race-official and special-projects work for NASCAR at its tracks across the country. He continues to serve NASCAR in those roles. He knows all the major NASCAR figures from ownership, leadership, management, and on down through the teams, drivers, crew chiefs, and track officials and staff. He is a fount of NASCAR and motorsports lore. Fred is also a licensed psychologist, pastor, and husband, and the father of a stock-car driver and IndyCar insider. Nelson P.

He has won service awards as a lawyer and educator, argued cases in the state and federal appellate courts, published dozens of books and scholarly articles, and been included in the Harvard University Press book What the Best Law Teachers Do. He has authored and published books and novels on law, education, faith, motorsports, horse training, and other subjects. He is above all an ardent follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, while devoted to the care of his wife Anne, daughter Sarah, and grandson Pierson.
