NASCAR Fiction by Sharyn McCrumb
Ranked #510 in Books, #50,168 overall | Donates to NPR - National Public Radio
"What if a group of ordinary people went on a journey in memory of a race car driver and found a miracle?"
She also writes a decent mystery--which is my favorite genre. So I ambled over to the Large Print(easier on the eyes) books to look for a book by her.
Lo and behold saw the book St. Dale
. What could this be about? I read the flap; it sounded interesting and fun. (Fictional account of a bus tour honoring the memory of Dale Earnhardt, Sr.)It was a blast to read! Learned a lot of interesting history about NASCAR racing, too. I could finally tell my husband something he didn't know about Dale, Sr. and NASCAR.
Ms. McCrumb has also written another novel and several short stories with a racing connection.
Keep on moving down to find out more.
