Grand Prix #17

Twin brothers Oscar and Mike Czesak have a reputation for wrecking hot rods as fast as they can build them—Oscar's wild driving and Mike's steady hands make a volatile team. When a friend suggests they enter stock-car racing at Spring Park's Duffer Night races, the twins sweet-talk Uncle Rupert into sponsoring a used Pontiac, and the real work begins: souping up the engine, stripping weight, and learning to drive as one. But as race day arrives, the brothers discover that success might mean rethinking who does what behind the wheel.

Phil Reedy's a chronic drag-racing loser—until he trades in his hopeless rod for a souped-up Mercury Cougar with real muscle under the hood. When he puts his newfound winning streak on the line in a high-stakes race, Phil discovers that sometimes the biggest obstacle to victory isn't the competition, but what you're willing to risk for it.
