Lynn Kelly is a professional Stock Car Racing League columnist working for SCRL.com and sister to race car driver Jake Kelly. She works and travels with her brother and covers all the racing events and reports them in her column.

Troy McBride is the newest driver on the Stock Car Racing League circuit and is hoping to win Rookie of the Year. Jake is his best friend, they grew up and learned to race together. Now he would be driving and competing against his best buddy again.

Lynn wishes Troy had never returned back home to race again. She and Troy have a past together and not just as childhood sweethearts. He betrayed her and hurt Lynn badly. Regretting that mistake, he wants to make up with her and start over. Now to make her realize it and win her love back and her trust. Life in the fast lane is not without injury or tragedy, as they all soon learn at the death of one of the drivers. This puts even more pressure on Lynn and Troy, he wants to win her back and she wants to run away. Realizing life is too short to waste can they overcome their past to make a future?

Losing a loved one makes a big impression, you learn all about grief. In the world of stock car racing life is not to be taken lightly or for granted. This is the basis for Lynn and Troy, after losing her parents Lynn shies from loving someone because they can leave her. Her defense is leave first so you do not get hurt. In the real world denial is more harmful than facing up to the truth. Facing your fears and letting yourself love again takes courage but is definitely worth the fight.
