My journey of a lifetime began on October 21. It was the biggest race of the season, the Schaeffer’s Oil Iron-Man Championship race at Blue Ridge Motorsports Park. I drive a race car, named Speed, in the Super Late Model class. I win most of my races, which makes me a big target for the other drivers. This race is a $3500 to win race. That means the winner will receive $3500. A few of my friends are going with me tonight for support. I picked up Raven, Tadin, and Aly and we stopped at Arby’s to grab some food before the races. Tonight was autograph night so I had to get to the track at 3 pm in order to set up my booth. While I was setting up my booth, the girls decided they would go look at the other cars. The autograph night began at 4. …show more content…

That means that we line up in columns of 3 cars and drive around the track. Since this is the biggest race of the season, they have a firework show while we drive around. I am at the front at the beginning of the race because I won the qualifying race. The race begins and Trig Parris and I are side by side. I press the gas pedal all the way to the floor.

The race is almost over and I drive under the checkered flag. I won the race! I go to victory lane, which is a place where you park your race car and get pictures with the check that you won. I saw all of my friends and family running towards me to get pictures. I was so happy that I won that race. I went to my trailer and put my car in it because I wasn’t racing anymore tonight.

It was Jacob Parris, the son of Trig Parris. Trig is my biggest competitor and Jacob has a new race car. I start to become suspicious. I get out of the car and he sees me and his eyes go big. He told Abby that he would show her his car another time. “No show us now, I am so excited to see it,” Abby replied. Jacob slowly walked to his garage and opened the door. “My car!” I gasp. Sitting in Jacob’s garage was my car. “I… uhhh.. I took your car because I was mad about you beating my dad in all of the races.” I was so mad at Jacob, but so happy and relieved that I had found my car.
