I chose the name “Charlotte Engines” to specifically target our two biggest potential fan groups. Charlotte has a rich tradition of motor racing, particularly NASCAR. An estimated 75% of the NASCAR industry's race teams, employees and drivers are based in or near Mecklenburg County. The first NASCAR "strictly stock" race was held at Charlotte Speedway, ushering a new era of competitive motor racing. Additionally it is home to the NASCAR Hall of Fame, Charlotte Motor Speedway and countless racing fans. By choosing the name Engines, all Southeastern NASCAR fans can finally have a baseball team to rally behind and call their own.…

No one really thinks about putting themselves in other people’s shoes. You’d be amazed at the difference between your life and Richie Parker’s life, which is not that much different, but he learned to do things a different way. ESPN tells the story of Richie Parker with a short seven-minute video, he also happens to be one of the most successful engineers in Hendrick Motorsports. The sole purpose of this video is about Parker’s success and accomplishments throughout his everyday life, which casually questions the audience, “how do you get through your day?” His story can serve as an example to ESPN viewers, Carolina natives, and others, in hope that he serves as an inspiration that anything is possible. ESPN captures the reality that most people don’t think about, the reality no one ever wishes to live, but with Parker’s pride and confidence, he only happens to prove everyone wrong.…
It is really a special day to see all these runners participate in this Red legs Run. It shows how strong and supportive the Red Leg community and that there is always opportunity to make a difference in the lives of our youth. I projected that this race would hopefully raise 50,000$dollars. Ladies and Gentlemen. Today we have already raised over $180,000 and that number is continuing to rise. This number is unprecedented and I want to personally thank all of the sponsors and participants for helping us achieve our goal of 50,000. This money will be incorporated into the Red's community fund. This money will fund some of our outreach programs. Outreach programs include the Reds Rookie Success League, a free, coed, character-building program for 6-12 year olds in Greater Cincinnati. It will also fund Youth Baseball and Softball Funding, which underwrites expenses for more than 400 inner-city teams throughout Reds Country. Also, it will aid in Renovations of multiple baseball fields. The funds from this Red Leg Run will help restore over 325 baseball and softball…
As you can see, a small chess team from I.S. 318 did whatever it took to win nationals. While having to face many challenges along the way. All of the chess players are very important, but they have to do a lot to succeed, just like the way Rochelle and Pobo did. They put their best foot for forward to win and to help everyone…

The Race Beat: the Press, the Civil Rights Struggle, and the Awakening of a Nation by Gene Roberts and Hank Klibanoff tells the story of the role and influence of the media in covering the black civil rights from its beginnings to 1965. Essentially, as their subtitle suggests, the authors make a convincing argument that that national (white) media’s coverage of the Southern struggle was essential to the passage of the landmark legislation of 1964 and 1965 (that’s the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act for those keeping score at home).…
Drag racing is a test of speed. I’ve always been interested in cars since a young age. I liked older cars and how they looked compared to new one. I saw a movie involving Nascar. After this I looked into different kinds of racing and this is the one I found most interesting. My dad has taken me to streets that aren't used a lot and let me drive his car His car is older and has the same gears as you would use in drag racing.…
In this case, Carter Racing has to make a decision under pressure about whether or not to race given they have experienced engine failure at a rate of 29%. Based on the opinion of the engine mechanic, temperature is a key driver in the cause of engine failure and Carter Racing has never raced in such a cold temperature (40 deg F). The data (only 7 data points) gathered by a more senior mechanic, who designed the turbo-charging system, does not demonstrate a correlation between temperature and gasket failures. There are three possible scenarios to consider. First, if they race and win, Carter Racing stands to gain a $1 million sponsorship from Goodstone and the team will feel an immense sense of pride. However, if luck allows them to win, Carter Racing also stands the chance of dismissing the engine failure issues in preparation for future races. Second, if they race and experience engine failure, Carter Racing will face their biggest blow up on national television at a major event; not to mention the loss of substantial new sponsorships from Goodstone and their existing $500k oil contract. Third, if Carter Racing chooses to withdraw, the team morale will be negatively impacted and their reputation with key sponsors may be in limbo. Withdrawal will also leave them $50k in the hole for the season. Based on the lack of additional corroborating data to disprove the temperature theory and the amount of financial incentive and reputation on the line, my recommendation is for Carter Racing to withdraw and keep their driver/car safe instead of hoping luck will be on their side. Carter Racing can use this as an opportunity to test and refine the turbo-charging system, get back on stable-footing and attract the attention of major sponsors next…
During further education I was selected alongside other pupil’s to participate as a team member for the 2010 Eureka Rocket Challenge, based at The University of Birmingham. This involved schools from around the region, where participants took part in the two day event to develop an existing product to market in another country. This event also raised funds for my Sixth form as my team managed to succeed as the winning team against 12 other teams throughout Birmingham.…
Imagine leaving your SI session at the John Peace Library and walking into your freshman writing course a few minutes late only to find your peers in a panic. The world as you know it has come to an end. The dead walk among the living, surprisingly, your class has bound together to survive and thrive in this horrible situation. My role in the rowdy crew of UTSA Road Runners would be conflict mediator and group psychologist, I plan on easing the impending conflicts that will arise from the stress and overpopulation.…

The Permian Panthers was no ordinary high school football team. Its win-loss record was unrivalled in the state, and the team had won five state championships. The ultimate honor for every boy in town was to play football for the Panthers. For every girl it was to become a Pepette, a cheerleader who baked cookies for the players during off days and dazzled the crowd to the tune of the school fight song on game days. In Odessa, everybody defined themselves in terms of the school football team and lived vicariously through it. So obsessed were the townspeople that they hardly raised an eyebrow when the football team chartered planes for away games at $20,000 a ride while the teachers scrounged around for money to buy textbooks and teaching materials.…
NASCAR has become an American household name that has successfully built their company by offering live racing entertainment, partnering with sponsors, marketing families, and capitalizing on branding by offering merchandise to consumers. Although NASCAR is highly prosperous, they could continue to increase their revenue and expand their achievements by insulating themselves from economic downtown, preforming a SWOT analysis, and by leveling criticism again them.…
