Yellow Flag

Yellow Flag by Lipsyte, Robert. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780060557072.

In any race, there are drivers and, at the front of the pack, there are racers. In the final laps, its the racer who moves his car through the sweet spot, picks off the competition, and drives through a hole to win. In Kyles family, his older brother, Kris, has always been the racer, born and bred to it, like his father and grandfather and great-grandfather before him. And thats just fine with Kyle; hes got other things to do. Now Kris is out of commission, injured, and Kyle has no choice but to drive. Does he want to drive just long enough to keep Kriss seat warm, or does he want to race—and win? On the heels of Raiders Night, Yellow Flag is a pulse-pounding look inside the elite world of NASCAR racing, from award-winning novelist and sportswriter Robert Lipsyte.
