Once Around the Track by Sharyn McCrumb

retiredlibrarylady's review

3.0

I have enjoyed Sharyn McCrumb's NASCAR series, and this was, for me, the best. In large part because there are fewer details of the driving. No problem finishing this because the characters and the plot mesh well. Well worth the $1 at the Dollar Tree!

Yes, I picked it up because of the NASCAR angle. But it was dumb, dumb, dumb. The story never gets going. It is page after page of character development and poor development at that. It had so much potential & it fell flat.

All-in-all: Don't bother.

A group of rich dilettantes decides to host an (almost) all-female NASCAR team. The books tells the stories of several members of the team; a pit crew member who is a fan of the driver, Badger Jenkins; the team publicist who is considering writing an expose on NASCAR, and the driver himself, a man whom no one can quite pin down. Heavy on technical information about NASCAR but not dull. Ward Burton (the driver) was one of the author's chief advisers on the book.
