Tim Carhardt is drifting through life with one goal—survival. Jamie Maxwell believes she can become, no, "will" become the first female winner of the cup. But life isn't always as easy as it seems. What happens when dreams and faith hit the wall? In the trademark page-turner style used by Chris Fabry in the Left Behind: The Kids series, these fast-paced books will keep even reluctant readers on the edge of their seats. Go behind the scenes of America's most-watched sport to see what it's like inside a 200-mph racecar as engines rev and lives collide.

Same reaction as before concerning the ending. I can only guess that this story was broken up into 4 books as a marketing ploy or maybe with the opinion that the books needs to be short for the middle school audience. Still, I was drawn in to find out what happens with Tim and Jamie as they continue on with their lives along with the spiritual influences nudging them.
I'm definitely going to read the 3rd book in the series, it got to the point where you have to read the other book to find out what happens. So far, I like the series.
