Personal Narrative: My First Nascar Driver

I went to my first NASCAR race on September 18th, 2016 in Joliet, Illinois. It was hot and it was a blast up there.

The most outstanding moment of my life so far is when i got my first car.It was a cool March morning in Pensacola Florida.I had my drivers test at eight thirty in the morning at the DMV on W street.As i got to the DMV ,we checked in for my appointment we had made.Soon the instructor came out and told me it was my turn.As nervous but as ready as i could be,i followed him out to my car.After he checked to make sure all safety requirement were checked,i began my test.All i could remember was what my parents had told me.¨If you pass your drivers test you will get a car.¨.When i finished my test,i had only missed 9 points.So i went back into the DMV and took my picture for my license.On my way back home my mom said ¨we have something for you.¨.As

Close to a year ago, my brother and I went to Darlington South Carolina for a NASCAR race. This was our third race and third time being in this crazy but wonderful environment. The people were drinking, the laughter was loud but genuine, and the race was thrilling. The excitement you get from hearing the loud cars, seeing them crash and the excitement of the crowd was overpowering. I had goosebumps from every bit of it. The smells from the burnt rubber, the smell of the smoke from the cars after hitting the wall or crashing into another car, the blinding lights from the fireworks when the race was over, and people going crazy was so overpowering. The parties that night were entertaining. People treated complete strangers like family, and fed

Time was key in the healing process. Barbara said, “Every time I go to church I pray for Dale Senior. I even still have dreams about him.” It was difficult for her to start watching races again after he passed because all she could do was think about her favorite driving not on that track. Biography Today said, “I think the hardest thing for us to deal with is the some of our competitive spirit died with him. He drove all of us to compete even harder,” (Abbey 51). Today, many still visit his memorial sites and statues that NASCAR has displayed of his passion for racing. Dale Senior has two statues of himself, one in Kannapolis, North Carolina and the other at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. Barbara says she see that every year people come to his memorial sites and lay flowers down for him which really touches her

Ever wondered how to get a famous Nascar driver to come to a dinner party and eat supper and hangout for a while? I would love to have Dale Earhart, Ricky Hendricks, and Adam Petty come hangout at my house. First Ricky shows up and I invite him in I as him how it was racing all of those years and being in a crash what it was going fast. Second was Adam petty he was a great racer and I would of loves to see him race. I asked him if it was hard loosing to the other racers? Than I really wanted to ask him how it was to find a pit crew and if they could have people they new. If he had fun racing while he could? Last was dale Earhart he was an amazing racer my dad and I watch him all the time on

The gentle green grass embedded with turf, surrounded by eight lanes, each having a perpetual loop. This is the place where I can relax, let go, and just be me. Whether it is a team practice, meet, or individual practice, I always feel a sense of serenity and tranquility. A Track and Field has become a prominent part of my life because I don’t have to act superficial. Throughout my earlier life I always had a knack for Track/Field, but I never amounted to anything when it came to receiving accolades. As I continued to grow older, I began to become more and more interested in Track and Field and start to push myself physically and mentally to succeed in the sport. When this started to happen I familiarized myself in the vast world of Track and

My grandpa got the deal of a lifetime on his truck. He only payed $ 800 it doesn't have a motor in it. My grandpa, my uncle Jack, and I worked on the truck

BOOM! The starting gun sounded and the biggest dual meet of the year was off. After much anticipation, preparation, and strategizing, the most important 5 kilometers of my young running career had started.

I did my research on being a NASCAR driver. I would like to be in this profession as a career. I enjoy racing. I find car racing interesting and would like to make it my profession. January 1, 1948 NASCAR is formed. NASCAR President, Bill France Sr.at that time. Re-visited the idea of racing the cars that people would drive on the street like late model family sedans, and since no other racing organization was using the idea. In December 1947 auto racing was born to do racing in America. On February 15, 1948 the first NASCAR Race was held in Dayton Beach Florida. On September 4, 1950 the Darlin International Race Way became the first Asphalt Super Speed Way to host a NASCAR event. On February 22, 1959 Lee Petty wins the first Daytona 500 race in front of 41,000 fans. On December 1, 1963 Wendell Scott is the first African American in a Premier Division NASCAR at Jacksonville Speed Way. On November 18, 1979 Richard Petty wins his record seventh series championship a mark that would be matched in 1999 by Dale Earnhardt. August 2, 1958 to August 2, 1992 "The King" one of the best stock car racers ever with 200 NASCAR Wiston Cup wins, 7 series championships. He is ranked number one in the following, all-time wins (200), races started (1,184), top-five finishes (555), top-10 finishes (712), pole positions (126), laps completed (307,836), laps led (52,194), races led (599) and consecutive races won (10) and in 1992 was inducted into the Motor Speedway

On May 2, 2003 it was my third birthday in a small town. For my birthday I got one specific gift that I loved the most. This gift was given from my Uncle Rusty who loved racing in general but liked NASCAR more than other motorsports. My Uncle had given me diecast cars with little toy cars that were all NASCAR cars. That day is when I grew interest for NASCAR and motorsports in general. I started to watch races with my dad and my uncle and I would create a mini version of the race with the little car I had. I started to watch more and more races until I began to watch every race the season. This is when I knew I wanted to be a racecar driver when I grow older. I was thirteen when I go my first go kart and began to race big national events. Coming

Today we just pulled into the race track in florida or Palm Beach International Raceway. The forecast does not look very good for racing this week because it has already rained all over the track. So we waited like 4 hours for them to get the track dry for us to be able to race safety.

There have been numerous occasions throughout my life that have fashioned my character into what it is today. However, one instance stands out, and that was within my racing career at the 2012 I.K.F. Grand Nationals. It was during this race, that I learned the importance of optimism and determination, which ultimately led to my Grand National title. I had several races that week, all of which ended poorly, barring the finale. My dad observed that I was becoming discouraged and pulled me aside for a pep talk. He told me to always race with my heart, finish strong and ultimately it will lead to success. After qualifying, I was seated 2nd place and eager for my final event. I entered the track with tremendous determination and drive, confident that when the green flag dropped nothing could stop me from achieving my goals.

s visitors take their seats and get ready for the start of the race the feeling of anticipation building up across the stands is truly electric. As soon as the green light comes on, you know you're in for a sensational race. The racetrack allows for up to 75,000 people to sit at once and during a race the crowd brings the event to life with their enthusiastic support.

It was a blistering summer evening at the Terre Haute Motor Speedway. The air was filled with rambunctious cheering from the crowd, the aroma of over sprayed WD-40 and the enthusiastic roars of the events race caller being projected over the loud speaker. Modifieds, Super Modifieds, Midgets and Sprint cars were being delicately pulled out of their sponsor illustrated trailers; gears and tires lay scattered across the dirt near all the racers jacks like an eccentric game of operation ready to be played. Everything seemed to be going the way it always had before each race I'd driven, everything but the unexpected ill-fated feeling I had in my abdomen disclosing something was amiss, that this could very well be my last race ever.

Both Nascar and Formula One share the same fundamentals of racing. The ultimate goal is to win every race that you possibly can. This is done by finishing before, often in front of, everyone else. In each form of racing, drivers take what are called pit stops. This is when a driver pulls into a designated area where his/her team is located. Then that teams provides car adjustments and fuel. These pit stops are critical
