- Designated Villain: The tax man may be a Jerkass, but he's only doing his job.
- Heartwarming Moments:
- Stone Fox letting Willy win, after seeing his dog die. In the TV movie, he even gives him a new one.
- Willy's Grandpa gaining the will to live again, just in time to see Willy race.
- I Am Not Shazam: Those who haven't read the book in a while tend to remember Stone Fox as being the name of the dog. No, her name is Searchlight. Stone Fox is The Rival.
- Tear Jerker: Searchlight dying, just feet away from the finish line. Even Stone Fox is saddened by this. Like other, similar books, this one has traumatized generations of schoolchildren.
