Meet the Wacky Pit Crew!

🏆 Wendy Wrench – The sharp and sassy mechanic who keeps everyone in line!
🏆 Trudy Treadwear – A determined racer who dreams of getting her name on the big trophy!
🏆 Laps the Racer – A wannabe speedster (and terrible singer!) who somehow thinks he’s already famous! 🎸😂

5 High-Octane Segments with a Purpose:

• Knowing and Following Jesus – Just like racers follow the pace car, we need Jesus to guide our lives! (John 17:3)
• Finding Your Purpose with True Worship – Strength, mind, and heart—racing (and faith!) require total devotion. (Mark 12:30)
• Finding Your Purpose by Knowing God’s People – Life’s race is better when we support each other. (Ephesians 2:19)
• Finding Your Purpose by Serving God – The best racers don’t just win—they give back! (Ephesians 2:10)
• Finding Your Purpose by Telling Others – Racing fans love to spread the word, but sharing the Gospel is even more important! (Acts 1:8)

NOTE: All segments can be ordered as standalone scripts or a complete series.

Winning the Race is designed for VBS or children's camp but works well in any setting. This engaging skit follows five uniquely entertaining race car drivers as they navigate the road to discovering God’s purpose for their lives. Using the high-energy theme of car racing—along with a healthy dose of family-friendly humor (guaranteed to keep both kids and leaders laughing!)—each segment explores a different aspect of finding purpose in life. The five segments include:

• • Individual segments:
    • Segment #1:  knowing and following Jesus (John 17:3)
    • Segment #2: through true worship (Mark 12:30) 
    • Segment #3: knowing God’s people (Ephesians 2:19)

Sample of first script, (all 5 scripts included in this package)

First Segment: Knowing and following Jesus

(Andi, Randy, Ted, Wendy, and Trudy come on stage, talking.)

Andi: Like you said, Trudy, the whole race season really comes down to the next big race.

Randy: Nothin’ wrong in that really, Andi. That’s kinda the way it should be—one mega race, winner take all.

Ted: Whoooeee! Excitin’ is what, Randy! Smell’a oil and burnin’ tire rubber... it just doesn’t get much better’n that!

Wendy: After all, Ted, isn’t this what we all race for?

Trudy: For a fact, Wendy, and, of course, to get my name on the big prize. I can see it all now (mimes holding up a trophy)—right there on the big trophy, “Winner – Trudy Tirewear!”

*(Laps comes strolling on stage, strumming guitar and singing. (Tune: “Oh I Never Shall Marry”). Other actors watch, only mildly interested.)

Laps:
Oh they call me a racer
I bin racin' long time
For sure I'm a legend
Only in my own mind.

(Laps sees the audience, reacts.)

Laps: Heydee ho, race car enthusiasts and otherwise hip and happy folks! Laps the Racer here.

(Other actors look at Laps with blank expressions.)

Laps: Laps... the Racer here... I’m sure you have heard of me.

Andi: Actually, I haven’t, Laps, but pleased to know you. I am Andi Airhead (points to Randy)—that there is Randy Ratchet (points to Ted)—and there’s none other than Ted Tirechanger (points to Wendy)—and I am sure you’ve heard of Wendy Wrench (points to Trudy)—and last but no way least is racer of the week, Trudy Treadwear.

Laps: Wha’d’ya mean, never heard of me? My name is on everyone’s lips! My adoring public follows me around day and night! I am here to win the big race... Way I see it, I am pretty much a shoo-in to win.

(Andi clears throat, Laps reacts.)

Laps: Well, I mean, there’s you and the other racers here too, I mean, and...

Andi: Thanks for noticing.

Randy: Just who, or what, is Laps the Racer?

Laps: (Sings) Let me sang you the answer to that question.
(Laps clears his throat, prepares to sing.)
Me, me, me, me...

Oh they call me a racer
I bin racin' long time
For sure I'm a legend
Only in my own mind.

I was borned in Daytona
My first race in KC
All the races I sure know
Cause they’re like home to me.

Ted: OK, I’ll ask... if you are such a great racer, adoring fans all over, your name on everyone’s lips—why haven’t we ever heard of you, Laps the Racer?

Laps: Cause racin’s only half of what I do. Me, I’m a race car driver, but when I’m not burnin’ rubber, I’m a sanger.

Wendy: A “sanger”?

Laps: Yep, shore am. Me, I’m a sanger sangin’ songs.

Trudy: On purpose?

Laps: Yep, pretty much so.

Trudy: A shame that, actually.

Andi: So, Laps, you telling us you will be driving in the next race then?

Laps: Well... likely, just have two little details to work out first.

Randy: Little details? Care to give us a fer-instance?

Sample of THIS "TRUE WORSHIP" SEGMENT #2 script:

(Andi, Randy, Ted, Wendy, and Trudy come on stage, talking.)

Andi: So this fella says, “Surely they can build a car that will stand up to that kinda use.”

Randy: Some folks just don’t seem to realize an automobile is a finely tuned instrument—needs to be respected, looked after.

Ted: For a fact! Whether you are an amateur driver or a pro, look after your vehicle, people!

Wendy: Got two hundred thousand clicks on my car, yet it's in like showroom condition!

Trudy: Sure, Wendy, but you like baby that car of yours.

Wendy: Why not? After all, my car is my baby!

(Laps comes strolling on stage, strumming guitar and singing. Other actors watch, only mildly interested.)

Laps (sings):
Oh they call me a racer
I bin racin' long time
For sure I'm a legend
Only in my own mind.

Randy: Run for cover, it's… him (her)!

Laps: Hey, just the guys I was looking for!

Andi: Hey Laps, what's up?

Laps: My friend, Hector Headstrong, introduced me to this awesome new game and—

Ted: You have a friend whose name is Hector Headstrong? That’s amazing!

Wendy: I find it even more amazing that you have a friend.

Laps: Anyways, my friend, Hector Headstrong, introduced me to red chipmunk racing.

Trudy: This Hector dude races chipmunks?

Laps: Sure does! And not just chipmunks—red chipmunks! Hector races as much as 32 days a month, and I plan to do the same.

Andi: That could be a tough thing to do, seein’ as on the best of months there’s only like 31 days… but then, who’s counting?

Laps: So, anyways, I am gonna sign up to be a chipmunk racer!
