The SPEED Way: Poems about NASCAR and Growing Up Around Cars and Racing

Don't let the fact that this is a book of poetry scare you off! I have had a ball since I started researching and writing the book. Now that it is out, it is getting great press, reviews and the racing folks have been very supportive. Come to Daytona for speed week and meet me at a number of events where I'll be helping the Living Legends of Auto Racing and also signing my book.

Take the word of Bonnie Allison Farr (of the Allison Racing Team), "I'm not much of a poetry person but these sounded like short stories to me and I thought they were very good."

I'd enjoy chattin with you about the book and racing topics. You can learn more about it at www.poetrydoctor.org where you just click on the NASCAR button.
