Camp 95 to provide students an inside look at NASCAR careers
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series team Leavine Family Racing will host a one-day summer camp, providing high school students a behind-the-scenes look at the NASCAR industry, from engineering and building cars to marketing sponsorship roles.
“An important part of our Leavine Family Racing team is focusing on the racing community and our local community,” team owner Bob Leavine said in a team release. “I am thrilled to give back to the community by using the organization as a way to provide these students with a look at some different career opportunities available to them.”
“Camp 95” will be held on Tuesday, June 16 at the team’s headquarters in Concord, North Carolina and will include a shop tour with crew chief Wally Rogers. Only 30 campers will be selected to participate. Applications are due May 25 and can be found at http://www.lfr95.com/camp95. Campers will be notified of their acceptance via email by June 1, and potential applicants can email [email protected] for more information.
“I’m very excited to have the opportunity to show these students how many different roles there are in NASCAR in a hands-on environment like CAMP 95,” Rogers said. “I hope that by explaining how I got started in the industry I can somehow make an impact on how they look at their future careers.”
Several key members of the NASCAR industry will also visit the campers. These speakers will share their experiences on how they got started in NASCAR and provide advice to the students as they begin to plan their careers.
