In the 200-mile-per-hour world of championship stock car racing, if you aren't the first man to the flag, all the talent and promise in the world ain't worth a bucket of spit.
"Rocket Rob" Wilder is everything the fans and those inside big-time car racing knew he could daring, polished, talented, and a sure threat to win. His meteoric rise to the top of the tough Grand National division, as well as his thrilling, crowd-pleasing showdowns with some of the other young racers, promise even more success. But you can't bake a pie with nothing but promise. In order to prove he really is the real deal, Wilder is going to have to make the jump into the big league. And that means racing-and beating-the likes of Dale Earnhardt, Mark Martin, and Jeff Gordon.
Does the Rocket have what it takes?
First to the Flag continues the saga of the men who risk it all to be the first under the checkered flag.
I liked it because I have a thing for racing and cars. This book was all about cars. In the book its all about what it is like to be a race car driver because its from Rob Wilder's point of view. Rob Wilder is the main character and is also the one who drives the car. It explain what its like to win races and the excitement from it. I would recommend this book to anyone else who likes cars just like me.
