Heroes of Racing series. Published spring 2008. This series profiles contemporary race car drivers, focusing mainly on their careers. Each first chapter describes a career high point, then subsequent chapters sketch out childhood and the ups and downs of the subject's racing development. Though the information is superficial, there's enough detail to hook racing fans. Photographs, sidebars, and statistical charts enhance the texts. Reading list, websites.
