The Art of Racing in the Rain

by Garth Stein

We don’t usually feature fiction on our website but we loved this book! 

It’s the story of up-and-coming race car driver Denny Swift, his wife Eve and their young daughter, and what happens to the family when Eve gets sick.  The narrative is told by Enzo, the family dog, who has educated himself about life and the universe through his many hours watching TV. 

The author (and Enzo) blend humor, philosophy, compassion, and racing lessons in one heartwarming tale, sure to please lovers of racing and dogs alike.

2006 Daytona Limited Edition

by Joe Racer

This book basically follows the model that Primary Colors set for politics, except it is about NASCAR.

Someone that has been on the inside of stock car racing for the past 30 years, wrote this tell-all, behind-the-scenes novel set in the recent past of the stock car racing scene.

This book will have broad appeal to all of the 75 million fans in "NASCAR Nation."

St. Dale

By Sharyn McCrumb


A NASCAR trip called the Dale Earnhardt Memorial Pilgrimage—boarding a silver cruise bus for a tour of Southern speedways are a group of strangers. None of the pilgrims ever met Dale Earnhardt, but he somehow touched each of their lives. For one 18-year-old, the tour is a chance to get married at the speedway with Earnhardt there in spirit. A New York stockbroker has made the trip because the love of stock car racing is the only link he has with the father he never knew. Reverend Knight agrees to chaperone a dying child on the tour, and finds himself on a strangely familiar journey of faith and devotion, with the prospect of a miracle at hand.

In a novel rich with compassion and truth, Sharyn McCrumb has crafted a tale of transformation and everyday miracles. Suffused with incisive Southern wit and unforgettable characters, St. Dale looks into the heart of America—its secular saints and cereal-box heroes, wild dreams and unrealized ambitions, heartbreaking losses and second chances—and celebrates its unbreakable spirit.
