- Summary
- "As the engines roar and the green flag waves, these stories tear across their rural landscape with the energy of a Winston Cup race. Like W.P. Kinsella's minor league ballplayers, Jonis Agee's drivers, pit crews, mechanics, and their families live in small towns, eat at truck stops, and try to figure out how to keep their families running as smoothly as their cars.
- In farmhouses, mobile homes, and roadside trailer courts, fathers and sons, mothers and daughters open our eyes as they take the wall."--BOOK JACKET.
