I personally don’t follow NASCAR, but one of my very best cozy-mystery friends does. So, I know that we are in the middle of the NASCAR season… Unfortunately, this will be a very short mystery-theme blog, since I only have one series to include in the NASCAR theme:
Janet Evanovich also has the NASCAR theme, as Alicia reminded me. Barney Barnaby Mystery Series features Alexandra (Barney) Barnaby, a NASCAR mechanic.
Joyce & Jim Lavene write the Stock Car Racing Mystery Series which features Glad and Ruby Wycznewski, a couple who follow the NASCAR racing circuit in their RV… finding more than just car racing!
Sharyn McCrumb‘s St. Dale is a novel in which NASCAR plays a central role. Also, McCrumb’s new novel Once Around the Track will be set in the world of NASCAR.
Amy Myers writes the Jack Colby, Car Detective Mystery Series. Jack is the owner of a car restoration shop in England.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention!

Steve Eubanks has a series written in the NASCAR world, about an ex-driver turned lawyer. First book is Hot Laps, second is Downforce.

Hi Casey,
Thanks for letting us know about Steve Eubanks’ NASCAR thrillers!
Rabia says
I think Lisa Bork’s “broken vow” series involves NASCAR

Rabia, I thought Lisa Bork’s Broken Vow Mystery Series involved a high-end sports car dealership owner…
Susan says
Hmmm… Nascar theme, what about a transport theme in general? Maybe split into cars / trains / boats, etc, if it’s too big.
Possibility?
I love this site, btw!

Thank you, Susan. I’ll write a blog entry asking for help on the Transport Theme and the Circus Theme you suggested!

I love the series about Kate Reilly by Tammy Kaehler. She is a race car driver in the American Le Mans Series.
