Are these correct?

"You are the reason why I won the award."
"The reason why we leave the car in the first gear is because it should not propel."

How else would you use "the reason" in a sentence?

Thank you teachers.

The reason why/that we leave the car in first gear is so it won't start moving. (However, I don't think your driving instructions are correct.)

I got it, how about saying "so that it does not move forward" instead of won't.

Thank you.
