Contains 4 stories
The Racing Witch
8 pp

Carol O'Hara is a wild, fearless racer determined to prove the O'Haras belong on the speedway—and she's got the driving skills to back it up, even if the male racers aren't ready to accept her. When she tangles with Bill Jordan, the speedway's top driver, their rivalry ignites into something neither of them expected, especially after a chance encounter at a dance puts them on the same side. This is the story of how a fierce competitor earned her legend as the Racing Witch.

The Grand-Stander
5 pp

Hank Harrigan is a star athlete who can't resist showing off—whether on the baseball diamond or behind the wheel—and his grand-standing habit keeps sabotaging his chances at glory and the love of Sue Lewis, who's had enough of his antics. When a mountain race gives him a final shot at redemption, Hank discovers that the only way to win is to stop playing to the crowd. A sharp little morality tale about learning when to drop the act and focus on what actually matters.

Crash Driver
6 pp

Don Hughes was born to race, but after watching friends die on the track one too many times, he makes the shocking decision to hang up his helmet and walk away from the sport. Now working at an auto plant and determined to prove he hasn't lost his nerve, Don channels his racing expertise into designing safer cars and improving speedway conditions—putting his skills to work in a different kind of race against death itself. When he invites his skeptical racing associates to witness his breakthrough at the testing grounds, it's clear Don has found a new way to be the driver the sport needs.

Run-Off
6 pp

Two hot rod rivals, Ray Moon and Colby Bean, are set to settle their three-way tie with a championship run-off race—until carnappers hijack Bean's Beast just before the competition. Moon pursues the thieves across the countryside in his souped-up Monster, and the two drivers must work together against the criminals and the law to recover Bean's stolen dragster. What started as bitter rivalry becomes an unexpected alliance in this high-octane showdown.
