Chad, his father and co-author Wayne, are both avid fans of auto racing in general and dirt track racing especially.

The result is a literary time capsule full of racing memories that will capture the interest of even the most casual fan.

He is also offering two copies for prizes in the evening’s 50-50 drawing. If ticket holders don’t win the cash prize they will have two more chances to win a copy of Delaware Auto Racing.
