Pre-orders are live: ABCs of NASCAR Racing 🏁 (ships Feb 9)

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

Whether you are a lifelong NASCAR or stock car racing fan, a casual race-day watcher, or you are totally new to it, your kids are going to love this. It is an officially licensed NASCAR kids book built to make the sport easy to jump into and fun to share together.

From A is for Aerodynamics to Z is for Zoom, it is a read-aloud that sneaks in real race-day vocabulary, teamwork, and kid-friendly STEM along the way. It is basically a “first NASCAR language” book for little fans, and a fun way for grown-ups to pass down a series they love.

Launch day is February 9, 2026 (copies ship on or around then), just in time for the lead-up to the DAYTONA 500.

Charlotte area launch event

If you live in the Charlotte area, join us! We are hosting a local launch event on February 21 at Fred and June’s Bookshop in Mooresville, NC. Come say hi, join us for a NASCAR story time reading, and grab a copy in person.

A couple kind words from reviewers (this made my week)

“Engaging, informative, and vividly illustrated… an excellent introduction to the popular motorsport for young readers.”
​IndieReader (IR Approved, 4.7 rating)​

“Adults who choose ABCs of NASCAR Racing will appreciate how… [it] will educate and enthrall young picture book readers and their read-aloud adults.”
​Midwest Book Review​

Want to help us have a strong launch?

If you are excited about the book, the biggest help is simple: share a post when you see it this week, or forward this email to a race fan family who would love it. Every bit of momentum matters for a tiny business like ours.

Did I mention that kids from 3 to 8 will totally dig this book!

Thanks for cheering us on and for helping us open the world of racing to the next generation.

See you at the track,
Andy

Hi friends!!!! I’ve been waiting for this one....F1 race weekend is finally here!Racing season is starting to feel real again, and it makes me genuinely happy. This weekend is extra special because NASCAR and INDYCAR are racing on the same track. Two different worlds of racing in one place. I wish I could be there to soak it all in, but I’ll be cheering from home (with more than one screen on, of course 😄). And F1 is back! New cars, new teams, new drivers, and so many storylines to follow. I...
