For seventeen-year-old Kyle Hildebrand, music is a breath of fresh air from the suffocating intensity of his famous stock-car racing family. But when his brother, the heir-apparent to the racing throne, is injured, and Kyle steps in to keep his seat warm. He'd better be ready for life in the fast lane.
On the heels of Raiders Night, Yellow Stripe is a dark and arresting novel about NASCAR, pressure, and the high-speed world of high school sports that has made Robert Lipsyte famous.
