Details

For generations, the Hildebrands have been racing legends. But Kyle Hildebrand prefers playing in his high school jazz quintet and hanging out with his sort-of girlfriend Nicole to working at the track. Then his older brother is seriously injured during a race, and Kyle has to fill the empty driver's seat for the good of the family. Now Kyle's caught between what he wants and what his family wants. And after he meets pretty pit girl Jimmie, Kyle isn't even sure what he wants anymore.

When his family insists he fill in for his injured brother as driver in a NASCAR race, he is initially upset: Kyle thought he had opted out of the family business long ago. But now Kyle realizes that he enjoys the excitement of racing and the attention it brings him. Soon everyone wants a piece of him—the members of his jazz band (including his almost-girlfriend Nicole), members of his family’s company, and especially Jimmie, a beautiful female mechanic. Kyle realizes that he has a difficult choice to make, particularly because his family wants to add another car and driver to their franchise. Topics Cars. NASCAR. Racetracks. Sports-related injuries.
