This satiric spoof of America’s fastest sport reveals how the country’s competitive edge gets corrupted by our relentless drive for commercial success. When a female driver takes the lead in the NASCAR standings, sabotage and scandal dent the polished reputation of this high-octane enterprise. A primarily female cast portrays the all-male universe in an all-out race for the checkered flag of love and money in the gender-bender about fender-benders.

Playwright Janet Allard is the recipient of two Jerome Fellowships at The Playwrights' Center in Minneapolis.  Her work has been seen at The Guthrie Lab, The Kennedy Center, Mixed Blood, Playwrights Horizons, Yale Rep, The Yale Cabaret, The Women's Project and Productions, Perseverance Theatre, Signature Theatre and Access, and internationally in Ireland, England, Greece and New Zealand. Collaborator Michael Bigelow Dixon is the literary director for the Guthrie Theatre and has directed and been production dramaturge for many theatres across the nation including the Guthrie, Actor’s Theatre of Louisville and The Magic Theatre in San Francisco.
