Goodreads asked Todd R. Thomas:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Todd R. Thomas I was an avid sprint car fan for six years until fate intervened in 1991, when I found myself, with zero experience, helping on a sprint car pit crew. Racing is often a family activity passed down from generation to generation, but not in my case. Since it was all interesting and new and shiny to me, I sometimes made notes of things that happened as a way to keep memories from fading. After Jerry retired in 2006 I tried to compile my notes in a book-like format - and then it sat on my computer for 10 years. But I believe it was always in the back of my mind, became an itch I had to scratch, and kept nagging at me and wouldn't shut up until I did something about it. I came upon it again in 2017, continued working on it, and self-published in March of 2018.
