Faster Pastor, by Sharyn McCrumb & Adam Edwards “When a New York Times Best-selling author teams up with a NASCAR driver to write a novel, it’s a literary match made in heaven.” Camber Berkley, a young stock car driver, wrecks his car on a winding mountain road, landing in the midst of the funeral of an elderly NASCAR fan. As punishment for his spectacular car wreck, the local authorities of the small Tennessee town of Judas Grove give him a choice: serve months in jail for reckless driving, or spend two weeks teaching the local ministers to drive stock cars, so that they can compete in a race whose prize is the $2 million legacy left by that deceased NASCAR fan.
