If there’s one thing you should know about the Rinker family—it’s that we love fast cars almost as much as we love BIG trucks! With the Indy 500 in the rearview and the Cracker Barrel 400 ahead this weekend, I wanted to give a shoutout to Revver: The Speedway Squirrel and share a little bit more about the middle-grade book’s origin story.

One day, while our family was watching a NASCAR race, a squirrel darted across the track to the infield. The commentator was laughing, and so were we, but that evening, when we were eating dinner, my son asked if we thought the squirrel would be okay. And just like that, I knew I needed to create a story for the speedway squirrel!
