About This Lesson
The children’s book The Trouble with Howard is inspired by a real-life story of race car driver Howard and his mechanic Anita who rescues a skunk at the race track. The Team Penske news reel highlights women breaking ground in racing as mechanics and engineers. Both stories center on sportsmanship and women working in racing, and show that everyone should be able to follow their dreams.
