Letter to Readers

 

Dear Readers,

 

Thank you for purchasing this book! Be assured that you need have no knowledge of stock car racing to read and understand it. I have done my best to avoid acronyms and to explain things that might not make sense to anyone but a race fan.

 

Because I do not have license to use the NASCAR name, I have come up with a totally new racing organization. This serves two purposes: keeping me out of trouble, and allowing me to change rules and tracks and locations of events to suit the story. Some of the places and racing rules and things will be similar, but many will be different. In addition, I have not named specific tracks. The ones in the story may or may not be actual, real tracks. I have invented sponsor names when necessary but kept many to general products or services.

 

For the racing fans among us, there are incidents in the story that had their basis in actual events. I changed things up, of course, so they are not too similar, but some may bring to mind things that have happened on the track over the years.

 

It’s my fervent hope that you enjoy this book as much as I enjoyed writing it.
