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.

Return to Glory
A Novel by Greg Littleton
Front engine cars are returning to Indy! It is early June 2010, the
Indy 500, held the previous week, had once again been a very
competitive race, attended by a crowd that at one time would have
been considered adequate for the first day of Time Trials. The TV
ratings have slipped and more importantly the aura that once
surrounded the great event has diminished.
The race was run with cars that no one remembers, driven by men and
women that few can recall. Next year will be the 100th anniversary
of this American icon. The owner of the beautiful speedway makes a
dramatic decision; "Gentlemen, we are bringing front engine cars
back to the 500." How can they do it? Will they be able to make the
"Return to Glory?"
Great fun for all open wheel fans, by the author of the Roadsters of
Indianapolis 1952-1966 – Glory Days.
