About this ebook
Jake Maddox
Who is Jake Maddox? Athlete, author, world-traveler – or all three? He has surfed in Hawaii, scuba-dived in Australia, and climbed the mountains of Peru and Alaska. His books range from the most popular team sports to outdoor activities to survival adventures and even to auto racing. His exploits have inspired numerous writers to walk in his footsteps – literally! Each of his stories is stamped with teamwork, fair play, and a strong sense of self-worth and discipline. Always a team-player, Maddox realizes it takes more than one man (or woman) to create a book good enough for a young reader. He hopes the lessons learned on the court, field, or arena and the champion sprinter pace of his books can motivate kids to become better athletes and lifelong readers.

New racetracks were always a big challenge. The track was new to Austin. A crash wouldn’t be unheard of for a new racer at a track.
Austin held on tight to the steering wheel. The curve in the track was coming up. He eased his foot slightly off the gas pedal. The curve didn’t look too tight, but Austin didn’t want to take any chances.
Some of the other racers on the track were not as careful. Several people flew past. They know the track better than I do,
Austin said to himself. That’s what I get for being the new kid on the track.
Austin pushed down on the gas pedal a little more. His heart beat quickly. His hands were sweating inside his gloves.
He turned the steering wheel to the left. The go-kart coasted along the turn. It never even came close to the bales of hay lined along the track’s edge. The hay was there to soften the blow from
