Synopsis
The laugh-out-loud memoir of one of America s most accomplished and enduring open-wheel racers and without a doubt one of its wackiest. In a 50-year career, Kevin Olson has raced Midgets all over the U.S. and famously Down Under, along the way winning multiple USAC, BMARA and other championships. He was inducted into both the National Midget Auto Racing Hall of Fame and the USAC Hall of Fame in recognition of his driving talent and success, Olson is probably equally well known for his off-the-wall sense of humor and non-stop pranks. Like Kevin, this book is candid, nostalgic, and consistently outrageous. Give it to anyone who loves racing and needs a smile to make their day.

Review
Cages are for Monkeys is clearly a labor of love, and it s a fun ride. If you enjoy midget racing, this book is a must. It effectively captures the passion that for decades has inspired people to invest the time, money, and sweat into an endeavor that offers little in the way of financial security...It isn t easy to write a book, especially a funny and meaningful book. Kevin has done just that, and done it well. Every racing fan will find something to enjoy within this book. --Dave Argabright, Sprint Car and Midget magazine
Kevin Olson is one of the most colorful characters in motorsports. However, he is a lot more than just a legendary prankster. He is a five-time Badger Midget Auto Racing Association champion, two-time USAC midget titlist, and he was inducted into the USAC Hall of Fame last year [2016]. If there was a jokester Hall of Fame, he would be in that one as well... We can all read about his accomplishments on the track and his uproarious gags off of it. The book Cages are for Monkeys is Olson s first-hand account of his racing career as he battled wheel to wheel with some of the best open-wheel racers of our time. As gripping as those tales are, the stories of some of his zaniest moments are absolutely hilarious. There is only one KO and if you are a fan of open-wheel racing this is one book you won t want to miss. --Ralph Sheheen, Speed Sport Magazine
