Why Choose us

Built with Racing Insiders

Created with input from professional drivers and racing experts. Real content, authentic stories, not generic car books.

Every Red Racer Books title is built from the inside out. Our books are written and developed with the people who actually live racing — professional drivers like two-time Indy 500 champion Josef Newgarden and trailblazing IMSA driver Katherine Legge have co-authored books in our catalog, bringing their real experiences directly to young readers. Our illustrators draw inspiration from actual race cars, real circuits, and authentic race-day moments from around the world. 

The result is content that racing families recognize as genuine — and that kids can hold up to the TV on race day and say, "I know what that is."

Why Choose us

STEM Learning Through Racing

Introduces aerodynamics, engineering, and teamwork through stories kids actually want to read. Builds curiosity about how things work.

Racing is one of the most STEM-rich environments on the planet — every lap involves real physics, live engineering decisions, and split-second problem solving. Red Racer Books uses that world as a classroom. 

When kids read about how a front wing generates downforce, why tire strategy wins races, or how a pit crew operates like a precision machine, they're absorbing science and engineering concepts through a context that genuinely excites them. That curiosity doesn't stay on the page — it carries into how they watch races, ask questions, and start imagining what they could build or design themselves.

Why Choose us

Share Your Passion

Creates meaningful family connections through racing. From read-aloud moments to race-day traditions.

Racing is one of those things that gets passed down. A parent who grew up watching Indy 500s with their dad, a grandparent who remembers their first NASCAR race, a family that treats every F1 Sunday like a holiday — that passion wants somewhere to go. Red Racer Books gives it a place to land. 

Reading together before bed, pointing out what your kid just learned when the race comes on, watching their eyes light up when they recognize a flag or a track — these are the moments that turn a hobby into a tradition. Our books are designed to be that bridge between the fan you already are and the fan you're raising.

Beloved by Families

From Andy, Founder

Red Racer Books started because I couldn't find racing books that respected what kids are capable of understanding. Too many "car goes fast" books, not enough books that answer the real questions young fans ask about aerodynamics, pit strategy, and what all those people in headsets actually do.

So I built a different kind of racing publisher. We have official licenses. We work directly with drivers, engineers, and racing insiders to create books with real content and authentic stories. Our catalog includes officially licensed content from INDYCAR, NASCAR, and Formula 1. Not dumbed down. Not generic. Just honest racing books that treat kids like the smart, curious fans they are.

Whether your family is deep into F1, discovering NASCAR, or introducing a baby to their first INDYCAR race, we're here to help you share that passion the right way.
