Hot Rod Racers #3

Big Mo Mozajanian's light-chassis rail dragster goes airborne on its first run, wrecking six months of hard work—but when his friend Jake breaks his ankle, Mo steps in to drive Jake's '63 Pontiac in the late-stocker races instead. After flipping the borrowed car and still managing to get it running again, Mo faces a desperate choice during the race itself: how to navigate past a flaming wreck without killing the injured driver or destroying himself.

Red Keegan is living the hot rod dream, piloting a Plymouth 426 from race to meet as a member of the factory team—until a clash with team director Joe Mancuso costs him his ride. Determined to stay in the game, Keegan swaps his engine for a bigger 427 Ford mill and goes rogue to challenge Mancuso's dominant team, with mechanic Rocky Ricco and unexpected help from a local Ford dealer fueling his comeback bid.

Cotton Tommy King comes from a family of fearless drivers—raised on fast cars and faster mountain roads—but when his reckless speeding causes county patrolman Jeremy Loomis's motorcycle to crash, Tommy's wild reputation gets a chance to prove itself for something better. Determined to help the injured officer and his family, Cotton channels his natural talent behind the wheel into legitimate racing, entering the grueling stock car circuit to earn prize money that might ease Loomis's burden. With his old rival now cheering him on, the Alabama Whammer discovers that the same skills that once made him the law's headache might just make him a winner.
