Taylor Spradlin March 21, 2024 MGT 300 – 35976 Carter Racing Writing Assignment After reading the Carter Racing case study, I have decided to have the team withdrawal from the race. While the team has placed in the top five in twelve of twenty-four races, it has had an engine failure in seven of the last twenty-four, causing damage to the car and putting the driver at risk. The previous winnings have earned the team an oil company sponsorship and a trial tire company sponsorship and by withdrawing from the race they will lose the team’s entry fee and must pay back money to their sponsors. Withdrawing would end their season and leave the team $80,000 in debt, however withdrawing before the race would also benefit the team as they could potentially gain back their sponsors in the future. Due to the temperature being 40°F, with the graph showing that there were engine failures in every race below 65°F, the engine looks like it would most likely fail during this race. The engine looks to be thriving between the temperatures of 65°F to 82°F. This race would be considered the coldest race of the season and since the engine mechanic mentioned that the engine failure could be caused due to temperature, I think it would be best if the team withdrew from this race and instead focused on developing an engine who could drive in any temperature condition since all seven failures had breaks in the head gasket.
