The novel The Art of Racing in the Rain, by Garth Stein, is both an emotional and an intelligent read portrayed through the author’s use of flashback, humor, and intellect. Through these, the author tells a meaningful story about life and death and the importance of both.

Ralph Dale Earnhardt, better known as Dale Earnhardt, was born to Martha Coleman and Ralph Earnhardt on April 29, 1951. Ralph did not want to race like he did, but Dale ignored him anyway and dropped out of high school to race. Ralph was very hard on Dale and when Ralph died of a heart attack in 1973 it took a long time for Dale to believe that he had proven himself to his dad. Dale had four siblings two sisters, Cathy and Kaye, and two brothers Dandy and Randy.

Over 50 years ago a new sport was introduced. This sport was stock car racing. The organization that sponsors stock car racing is known as National Association of Stock Car Racing, NASCAR. The driver that is identifiable with NASCAR is definitely Dale Earnhardt. Over the years there have been many great stock car racers from Cale Yarborough to Richard Petty and Davy Allison, but no other name was better known than Dale Earnhardt. Whether on the track or in the crowds, there is no possible way a person can look without seeing a black number three or some other Earnhardt insignia. In first or last place, victory circle or behind the wall, the black GM Goodwrench Chevrolet could not be deprived of its

According to the sprint car racing sanctioning body United States Auto Club, Clauson was leading the race at that time and about to overtake a backmarker when he crashed while passing lapped traffic. Clauson’s car rolled and was hit by another competitor, sending, Clauson's car flipping and eventually sliding down the banked track.

In the film, the truck driving Phar Lap to the race broke down at a farm a distance away from Melbourne. Viewers saw Telford and Mr Davis at the track close to race time nervously awaiting Phar Lap's arrival while officials warned that if the horse didn't arrive soon he would be disqualified. Soon after, the truck starts running and the suspenseful scene culminates in Phar Lap and Tommy running on to the track to a wild and cheering crowd. This event was dramatized a lot for the film as in reality, Phar Lap was only slightly late for the Cup due to the broken down truck. This unrealistic version of the truth results in the film's somewhat different portrayal of events at the 1930 Melbourne

Mixed with horrific crashes, mind boggling maneuvers, and the intense competition, motocross riders have to be in tip top shape just to be able to qualify. One rider in particular surpasses all the limits. His name is Ryan Dungey. Before the success and fame Dungey did not have it easy as he struggled to make good things happen while racing in the amatuer class. He was considered average and did not win very many races. Another factor that played into this was that he lived in Belle Plaine, Minnesota. Most riders who are seeking professional deals usually move to warmer states so they have the advantage of riding all year. Dungey lived a normal life and did other activities other than just motocross. Because of all these factors, I believe

Kyle Busch got into a fight with Joey Logano and it ended up with blood dripping off of Kyle Busch's head. The fight started with the 22 of Logano spinning Kyle Busch out into the pits. This all starts with Martin Truex Jr. passing Brad Keselowski with two laps to go and avoided a last-lap wreck that led to a pit-road brawl and left Kyle Busch bloodied, in a wild finish to the NASCAR Cup race on Sunday. As blood ran down Kyle's forhead, they were seprated by the pit crew and when they were pulled apart. They were both bloody after the huge pit road brawl broke out in Kyle Busch's pit stall. Also I found out that NASCAR won't be punishing Joey Logano nor Kyle Busch for the huge fight nor the spin out. At the end of the entire thing the 11 of

1. The protagonist of book was Enzo. Enzo is the narrator of the book and he is a golden retriever dog. 2. When Enzo dies, he wants to be reincarnated as a human and be friends with Denny.

When I saw cover of this book at first time, I couldn’t find any relation between a dog picture and the title of Racing in the Rain. But as I read the story, I found it and liked it. In a situation that Denny and Enzo were racing in the rain, Denny said, “Rain makes your mistakes even worse, and water on the track can make your car handle unpredictably. When something unpredictable happens, you have to react it.”(39). Rain implies Eve’s death and something unpredictable implies the trial for custody of Zoe. As he said, he could set his face about it properly. It is common saying that a rainbow appeared after the rain. I like this phrase and I thought the end like a rainbow. That’s why I like this story. This story tell you about

Throughout the last two weeks, I have been reading Garth Stein’s The Art of Racing in the Rain. The Art of Racing in the Rain is 336 pages and I finished the book. This book was written from a dog-named Enzo’s point of view. The dogs owner, Denny, was an amateur racecar driver, a dad, and a husband. His wife eventually died from cancer, so all he had left was his dog and daughter. Denny’s daughter, Zoe stayed with her grandparents and mom while she was dying, so Denny could continue to work and his wife could be with her parents. After his wife’s death the grandparents thought it would be best if Zoe stayed with them because Denny was very sad and they didn’t think he was capable of caring for a child. Denny was not happy with that at all

Drivers that do not finish good enough to transfer to the A-main their night of racing is over. The A-main or main event is around a twenty five to thirty lap race to see who wins it all.

The Amazing Race is a popular show where pairs of family members or friends race around the world to compete for a million dollars. Blake Mycoskie along with his sister were one of the lucky pairs that were chosen to complete challenges in over thirteen different cities every day for three weeks. Blake started off on the show to compete for the million dollar prize, but that is not what ended up happening. Blake and his sister lost the million dollars; however, Blake found something worth more than anything money can buy. Giving back to those who are less fortunate. Blake never had time to stop and take in every little detail that was happening around him, so Blake and his sister decided to return to Argentina after the show. When competing
