Sharyn McCrumb’s new auto racing novel, “Once Around the Track,” owes its existence to not only the New York Times best-selling author, but also to Adam Edwards, an ARCA RE/MAX Series racecar driver. Edwards, whose hometown is Falls Church, contributed to the development of the novel, serving as a resource for McCrumb’s racing-related questions. The book was published June 1 and chronicles the adventures of an all-female NASCAR team and their male driver. On August 7, McCrumb and Edwards came through Falls Church for a book signing and discussion at Don Beyer Volvo on West Broad Street.
