The core of Moses's story takes place in the heartland of stock car racing, there he finds a spot on a team in Ether, North Carolina. The team's owner is a tough Louisiana oil man, its crew chief a lanky, laconic Texan, and its number-one driver a hairy-chested leadfoot who learned fast driving on backwoods Georgia roads, delivering beauty supplies in his Mustang. Crashes echo throughout the tale that follows, five of them the author's own.

Review
"A candid, often hilarious account of [Moses's experiences on the tracks, in the garages and in the gasoline alleys of the racing world--but especially memorable is the wild variety of characters Moses met along the way. The book might have been written twenty years ago, but racing is still populated by fast guys, rich guys, and idiots."--Brock Yates, "Wall Street Journal"--Brock Yates"Wall Street Journal" (11/18/2006)
