Garth Enzo's The Art Of Racing In The Rain

This reckless driving--113 m.p.h--was a surprise and frustration for the author because his son was reasonable, measured, and mostly repentant after the incident; his son’s only qualm was that he shouldn’t have been cited for reckless driving because he was incredibly focused and thoughtful about where and when he was speeding. This odd paradox was frustrating to the author because he simply couldn’t understand his son’s thinking.

Junior Johnson, a NASCAR hero, is a true example of where the sport came from. He was raised in a moonshine family. Johnson's father taught him many values such as no stealing or lying. Although it seemed contradictory that they were breaking the law everyday with their business, apparently it was all they could do to survive. When a school friend named Millard Ashley was asked about Junior’s driving, he replied, “Junior? Hell, he’d run wide open all the time….Yeah, he was pretty bad about that. He was always blowing a head gasket or somethin” (Menzer, 61). Junior had a talent for making his cars faster with better handling than those of the law’s. Outrunning law enforcement officers became a means for the drivers to learn the knowledge needed in increasing a car's, or racecar's performance.

NASCAR wasn’t always one of America’s favorite things to watch or a multimillion-dollar sport. It was actually inspired by criminal activity during the twentieth century. How racecars became part of American life goes back to the early days of prohibition and how gangsters avoided the law. During this time temperance organizations wanted to restrict or abolish the consumption of alcoholic beverages. By the early 20th century, women’s groups throughout the country viewed the sale and consumption of liquor was disrupting family life, and destroying marriages. The “Anti-Saloon League”, established in 1893, led a wave of protests in 1906 against “saloon” culture. The league had support from

this essay will analyze Bruce Springsteen’s, Racing in the Streets. The narrator opens with a description of his sixty-nine Chevy, also referred to as “she”. He uses fancy mechanical jargon to do so, saying she has “fulie heads and a hurst on the floor.” His use of this language, though unusual to a reader with an average knowledge of cars, is easily justified by his role as a racer which is identified in the title, as well as later on in the stanza.

He also declares “We shut ‘em up and then we shut ‘em down,” referring to any competition they face. There are very macho vibes here, and we get the feeling that the narrator is someone who does not need to be tied down to anything or anyone, especially in saying there are no strings attached. Having no strings attached could be the result of the fast-paced

With this year’s Indianapolis 500 being the 100th running of the famous race, the marketing team has been working hard to make this year’s race one of the most memorable in years. The past few years have produced a mediocre turnout compared to past races, which has lead Indianapolis 500 marketing team to state that the Indianapolis 500 is no longer viewed as the biggest racing event in the United States (Indy 500). Consequently, the Indianapolis 500 marketing campaign for this year’s race, has the dual purpose of emphasizing the race’s history and delineating their product as being more parallel with mainstream popular culture than in year’s past. We believe these efforts are wise because the Indianapolis 500 will continue to capture the legacy
