Hot Laps

Description

Former racing champion Robert "Redball" Redding has hung up his helmet and race suit and settled into a second career as one of the best prosecuting attorneys in North Carolina. His success in the courtroom and southern superstar fame make him a perfect choice as the chief federal prosecutor for the US Sixth District. With Justice Department confirmation looming, the last thing Redball needs is to be thrust back into racing. But when Troy Slackherd, the underachieving stepbrother (and distant cousin) of STOCKCAR's most popular driver, Junior Senior, Jr., is arrested for hijacking a 18–wheeler full of die–cast toy racecars, Redball is driven back to a world he thought he had left behind.Then, when murder, mayhem, thievery, and porn set in, Redball, along with his assistant DA, Ty Johnson, and DOJ investigator John Paul Westport find themselves rubbing fenders with the south's biggest and arguably stupidest organized crime family in a hilarious 200–mile–per–hour romp through the under–the–hood culture of American auto racing.
