dirt track racing exciting “You may win some, you may lose some, you may wreck some” – Dale Earnhardt. He was one of the greatest race car drivers and was responsible for making the sport popular. He won many championships on asphalt tracks and was killed at Daytona Speedway February 21, 2001. Racing on asphalt and dirt tracks can be dangerous but also very fun to watch. Dirt track racing is very competitive and is more exciting to watch compared to all the types of auto racing. Dirt track…

Track and field is a sport in which races of various lengths take place on a track while people throw various objects in a field. I was a 100 meter and 200 meter sprinter, and could never imagine running a longer distance. The winter of my sophomore year, I decided to start running the 400 meter sprint during winter track in order to decrease my 200 meter time for the spring season. By the end of the winter track season, I had fallen completely in love with…

I was standing by the race track, the cars flew by at incredible speed. The announcer said the blue bullet in lane 4 won the race. The crowd was applauding and cheering. That was the end of that pinewood derby, now we wait for all the results and then the trophies. My Dad, my brother and I have been involved in a group at our church called Christian Service Brigade or CSB for short. It is a group that gets together once a week and does things similar to the boy scouts. One of these things is…

High school champions from Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and other states in the south came to run this race to determine who the best of the best it was. Kate was young and new to the sport of track and field. She only had one season under her belt. She was informed about how competitive this race was. “You will compete with champions…

sitting and twisting the throttle around the track. Well, I can guarantee you that’s not how it actually is. I’m sure for all the people that say this, they couldn’t last on a rutted track for one lap and do every jump without the proper training and equipment.…

official says runners to your marks and I get into the blocks knowing this would be the most important race I would ever run in. Running in the farthest outside lane with the fastest time in the state all my nerves are gone. I get in the blocks then the loud bang of the gun sounds and I take off. "Bang-bang" first thing that comes to mind was please don’t let it be me. Everyone who knows about track knows that when you hear the gun go off twice then someone has false started and everyone was…

twins to win the race, they are going to have to train to an extreme. Which is just what they did, their training consisted of running 7 miles a day split into incriments to keep their cardio above average, pushing their arms and legs to the max while lifting to avoid any kind of arm or leg pump while racing, and making laps aroudn their track in less than a minute to keep the other racers in the dust during the race. Going to school and training almost all day everyday for this race was…

runners take off. The Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt gets off to a fast start. Bolt is beginning to pull away; he celebrates as he crosses the finish line, and wins the race with ease. All sprinters have specific gear they wear to increase their chances of winning. For example, all sprinters wear tight fitting shirts, shorts, and track cleats. This Puma ad depicts the Jamaican sprinter running in the foreground with his arm stretched out wide as he is crossing the finish line. The massive crowd…

starting line of the track for the seventh time, the timekeeper rang the bell, signaling that it was the final lap of the race. The light drizzle on that humid day, turned into rain and by the last lap had left me drenched, but at that moment, the rain did not bother me, nor did the fact that I could not feel the legs beneath my body. The two mile, eight lap race, would be the single event I ran in Track and Field, but it would redefine me every time I did. Competing in the race itself was…
