An exciting tale with crashes, controversial decisions from the officials, crowd heartbreak and thrill, and a Le Mans style... end!?

Written by Eli. Illustrated by Eli

The race cars are ready to race

On you marks, get set, go!

Five cars crash. Five cars are left. *crash*

One car went four laps.

*zoom*

Three cars crash, two are left. *crash*

One car pushed one car to...

...the side.

The Judge says...

...”amazing effort.”

The left side cheers, “Yaa”

The right side groans.

Three laps to go.

And then break time.

The crown moans, “Oe”

Everyone gets food...

...and drinks.

“The race begins”

One lap...

A two lap...

and then, “Oh no”

*crash*

Yippee, he’s still walking.

“It’s one mile ‘til...

...the finish line.

He starts running.

He wins.

The left side screams, “Woohoo”.

The right side moans, “Boo”.

“aaaah”

The left side screams.

“It’s time to pack up.”

Denver wins...

...a trophy.

The...

...End.

I concur. Booing is unacceptable. One can be disappointed, but should not boo. I try to encourage good sportsmanship in my children.

Of course... the wife says it’s ok to boo the Oakland Raiders, so I can understand the mixed messages my kids are receiving

As the father of a 6-year-old, I would love it if he could string a story together with such penmanship, math skills, and cliffhangers. Please tell me he’s at least 8 years old. I think you have a prodigy on your hands!

I think that’s how Andretti did it

Thanks!

(As parent of previously young kids imo this is really, really good)

You probably know better than anyone, right? But my guess, personally, is y’all got a real keeper there, one with tremendous personality

Pulitzer material! I’d buy a signed copy for sure.

OK, so a recap.

A race consisting of 10 cars started, eight retired, leaving two to finish the race. One of the last two cars crashes with one mile left to go, and that driver ran to the finish line and won?

What the hell was the other car that it was beat by Denver on foot? A McLaren?

I’d watch this race.

That makes sense that the McLaren was several laps back.
