    "Pimm, who worked in the pit box during her husband Ed Pimm's NASCAR racing days, offers an informative introduction to the Daytona 500.... A solid entry on stock-car racing."
    Booklist
    "While not as heady as the scent of hot engine oil or as dramatic as a 10,000 rpm engine at full throttle, this colorful entry should still have young race fans wheedling for a 'Speedweeks' vacation and dreaming of a place in a pit box."
