The Checkered Flag Bev Stearns

Stacy Porter arrives at Catamount Stadium wondering what will happen to him here. After dealing with a stormy and lonely past where he was blamed for an accident he didn't cause, he hopes that by coming to Vermont he will find peace, and hopefully, friendships with the racers. Instead of these things though, he finds two brothers, family members of the man he was accused of trying to destroy. While one brother is non-combative, the other is not. From day one Jerry Daron does all he can to make life miserable for Stacy. Jerry also has a girlfriend named Corrie. Being a Christian, Corrie doesn't appreciate the things Jerry is saying to his crew about the new racer and decides she should talk to Stacy and get his side of the story. It doesn't take long for her to become the center of dispute between the two drivers.
