    Jake Maddox

    Who is Jake Maddox? Athlete, author, world-traveler – or all three? He has surfed in Hawaii, scuba-dived in Australia, and climbed the mountains of Peru and Alaska. His books range from the most popular team sports to outdoor activities to survival adventures and even to auto racing. His exploits have inspired numerous writers to walk in his footsteps – literally! Each of his stories is stamped with teamwork, fair play, and a strong sense of self-worth and discipline. Always a team-player, Maddox realizes it takes more than one man (or woman) to create a book good enough for a young reader. He hopes the lessons learned on the court, field, or arena and the champion sprinter pace of his books can motivate kids to become better athletes and lifelong readers.

      Speed Camp - Jake Maddox

      CHAPTER 1

      READY TO RACE

      This summer is going to be great, I told my best friend, Robby, as we walked home from school. It was our last day of seventh grade and the start of our summer vacation. We always looked forward to summer, of course. But this year was special.

      This year, Robby and I were going to the best summer camp ever. We’d get to spend our days around race cars at Kyle the Killer Kingston’s Top Speed Race Camp.

      At the camp, kids learn all about stock race cars. Everybody works toward the summer’s big event when campers race for the camp championship. The whole thing was a dream come true, if you asked me.

      But one of the best things about the camp would be meeting Kyle Kingston. He was one of my favorite NASCAR drivers, and Robby’s too. This year, he retired from driving in NASCAR and opened the camp. I couldn’t wait to meet him.

      In spite of his nickname, the Killer seemed like one of the nicest guys on the track. He laughed more than any of the drivers I’d seen on TV.

      I wonder why he’s called the Killer. He’s seems so friendly, I said.

      It’s ironic, Robby answered.

      Ironic? I asked.

      Yeah, you know, when something is the opposite of what it really means. Robby paused, and I knew what was coming. You didn’t know that, Dylan?

      I rolled my eyes. Sometimes being best friends with Robby was not easy.

      Sure, he was smart, but he acted like he was a genius. He rubbed it in everyone’s faces, especially mine. He was smarter than me, faster than me, and all-around better than
