Speed

Rows of stock cars are lined up on the track. The loudspeakers blare: "Ladies and gentlemen, start—your—engines!" There's a sudden rumble of motors as the cars follow the pace car around the track: one lap, two laps, three. Then the green flag rips across the sky and—vroom!—the race is on! In this action-packed picture book, Nathan Clement puts young fans smack in the middle of a stock-car race with graphic illustrations of cars roaring down the speedway, squealing around curves, and zooming 200 miles per hour to the finish line.

Nathan Clement is the writer and illustrator of Job Site and Drive, which Kirkus Reviews hailed in a starred review as the "Great American Truck Book." He lives in Indianapolis, Indiana.
