The Rough Start


DIRECTIONS; Read the story. Then put the events below in the correct order.

When the famous country singer yelled, “Drivers, start your engines!” Harry
was full of confidence. His car’s engine roared to life underneath of him, and he
began his warm-up laps. He just knew that this was going to be his race. He
hadn’t won a race yet all year, and it just had to be his turn!
But as soon as the pace car peeled off the track, as the cars approached
the starting line, Harry grew concerned. The back of his car didn’t feel quite
right. Still, he sped up with everyone else and was soon speeding around the
track. He called to his crew chief and told him that something felt loose on the
back of his car.
“You’d better bring it in to pit row as soon as you can,” his crew chief told
him.
But Harry never got the chance. His back left tire suddenly blew out. He lost
control of the car, and the driver behind him smacked him from behind. Harry
spun off the track, his car plowing up grass until it finally to a stop. Harry was
safe, but he was probably not going to win a race today!
