How can i take a photo of a moving object with the object in focus and the background having motion blur?

Question

I have seen pictures that must of been taken with a slow shutter speed, the car was in focus but the background had motion blur, how can this happen?

Don't you love it when the the question is closed with a dupe that isn't really much of a match before the other question that is a really good match can be added by another member? — Michael C, Jan 06 '17 at 00:15
@MichaelClark the dup selection is fine this time, isn't it? — Euri Pinhollow, Jan 10 '17 at 01:53
@EuriPinhollow Not really, because the examples in the OP and the answers to that question are mostly about other things. The one listed in the comments is a MUCH BETTER match. — Michael C, Jan 10 '17 at 04:45

Slow down the shutter and track the car. It takes some practice but it's pretty easy.

I have some examples of some results on my flickr page, More.
