- Racing Job Seminar in Mooresville: On Friday night, May 23, 2008 from 7:00-10:00pm/et at Fitz Racing in Mooresville, NC -- during Coca-Cola 500 Race Week. -- Mike Calinoff [#40 Spotter] will present his 9th Annual "Get Into Racing" Seminar. It is a great opportunity for those interested in a career in professional motorsports. The "Get Into Racing" program is not your typical seminar format. Traditionally, participants sit for several hours and try to absorb as much information as possible, while jotting down notes and thinking silently of questions they need answered. There is usually one host who does all of the speaking. The "Get Into Racing" program takes a totally different approach. While Mike Calinoff serves as the primary speaker, he is complimented with a panel of experts who are in the business. Race team members, owners, public relations, media, marketing and administrative specialists have been carefully selected to bring as much information to the seminar as possible. You are encouraged to bring your resume as well. The seminar is broken up into three segments: 45-minutes of discussion, a two-hour breakout session with the panelists and a 15-minute wrap-up. The program is upbeat and informative. It addresses your real-life aspirations for a position in NASCAR motorsports and brings to you the realistic opportunities that exist. Heavy concentration is placed on career development, interview skills and what race teams are looking for in a candidate. All of the time is spent discussing the real issues and opportunities that will help bring you into a whole new world. Calinoff's honest and realistic approach has attracted over 3000 attendees to his seminars over the past 8 years.

An unofficial announcement occurred at the World Karting Association's KartFest 2008 at the end of January. The Academy is to become the first motorsports boarding school in North America. The partnership combines the motorsports assets of Southern Virginia with the private education of Carlisle School, an International Baccalaureate World School. In a curriculum developed specifically with students in grades 7 and above in mind, this program initially focuses on driver development and education, but will quickly expand to include engineering and other facets of the motorsports business. Capitalizing on existing resources and partnerships with Virginia Tech, Old Dominion University and local community colleges, The Academy students will have access to cutting edge research and engineering programs. Students obtain hands-on, behind-the-wheel time on the tracks of VIR, South Boston Speedway and Martinsville Speedway. Education also takes place on Old Dominion University's chassis and engine dynamometers and at the Virginia Institute for Performance Engineering and Research (VIPER). In this partnership, Carlisle School provides the college preparatory curriculum, including AP or IB courses, to ensure students are ready for further academic study in a college or university. Carlisle School boasts a 100% four-year college acceptance rate. The Academy students will have the same academic standards as the traditional Carlisle students. Students of The Academy will live in boarding facilities near Carlisle School's main campus in Axton, Virginia. The Academy is accepting students for Fall 2008.

- DEI Motorsports Scholarship Winner Named: William Bostic knew what he wanted to do when he grew up the first time a teacher asked him that question in the third grade. “We were told to choose a career that was something we would enjoy doing every day, and I knew racing was for me,” he said. For Bostic, the answer was motorsports then and the answer is motorsports now. The soon-to-be-senior in mechanical engineering says he aspires to be an engineer for a NASCAR team or work as an engineer in an automotive or motorsports-related industry. Tuesday’s announcement that he is the first recipient of Clemson University’s Dale Earnhardt Motorsports Scholarship moves Bostic one step closer to his goal. With two industry internships to his credit and a better than B-plus average, Bostic has proven his work ethic and his focus on his career goals. He has earned a spot on the dean’s list every semester of his undergraduate career except one and is a member of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Theta Tau professional engineering fraternity and Alpha Phi Omega national service fraternity. In his spare time, the Eagle Scout works on the Clemson SAE Mini-Baja car. In addition to being awarded the scholarship, Bostic is spending his summer as an intern at Dale Earnhardt Inc.'s Mooresville, N.C., headquarters. Clemson mechanical engineering department chairmain Imtiaz Haque praised Bostic as an outstanding student who will represent Clemson engineering well.(DEI site)(8-4-2007)
- Clemson University, DEI form motorsports innovation partnership: Dale Earnhardt Inc. (DEI) Tuesday became Clemson University’s first Motorsports Innovation Partner, providing the company preferred access to faculty, students, facilities and equipment related to motorsports and automotive research. DEI Chief Executive Officer Teresa Earnhardt and Clemson University President James F. Barker signed a memorandum of understanding to create the formal research and higher education partnership. Initially, the unique partnership will be driven by proprietary motorsports engineering research projects involving Clemson University faculty, researchers and graduate students, along with the funding of student scholarships and internship opportunities. The Dale Earnhardt Foundation will fund an annual undergraduate scholarship honoring the memory of Dale Earnhardt Sr. for students interested in motorsports and automotive engineering. Clemson officials have selected William Howard Bostic III of Sissonville, West Virginia, as the first recipient of the Dale Earnhardt Motorsports Scholarship. Bostic is a rising senior majoring in mechanical engineering. (See related story.) The Dale Earnhardt Foundation will provide $13,000 annually for a total minimum pledge of $39,000 to establish a three-year undergraduate scholarship for a student in the College of Engineering and Science. In addition, students selected to receive the scholarship will be eligible for internships with DEI. Teresa Earnhardt said the relationship with Clemson is in keeping with the missions of both DEI and the Dale Earnhardt Foundation to foster education and to assure that the company and the motorsports industry will benefit from highly motivated, technically competent leaders and employees in the future. “The work to create the relationship that formally begins today started more than a year and a half ago,” said Earnhardt. “That investment in time and effort has produced a partnership with unlimited potential. In Clemson’s International Center for Automotive Research, we have the resources of a world-class institution with the capability and commitment to help us develop technical innovations that will continue the winning tradition of Dale Earnhardt Inc.” She said, “I have no doubt that the work of Clemson University and Dale Earnhardt Inc. will produce remarkable results and years from now will be considered the model for how a racing organization and a research university can collaborate for the sake of progress. The partnership also provides a great match for the mission of The Dale Earnhardt Foundation. The Dale Earnhardt Motorsports Scholarship will support the education of deserving students and it will be these motivated, talented individuals who will continue the legend.”
Clemson is recognized as a leader in motorsports and automotive engineering education. Its undergraduate program in mechanical engineering offers students real-world experiences through a competitive curriculum augmented by a cooperative education and internship program. Students also can compete in two automotive design projects: SAE Mini-Baja and Formula SAE through the Society of Automotive Engineers. The Carroll A. Campbell Jr. Graduate Engineering Center at the CU-ICAR campus in Greenville, S.C., offers the nation’s only master’s and doctoral graduate degree programs in automotive engineering and unique research and testing resources.(clemson.edu)(8-1-2007)
- Race Themed School to open in Las Vegas: A new, auto racing-themed elementary school is opening in Las Vegas in August. The school's official name will be "Dr. C. Owen Roundy Elementary School," and the students have chosen "Roundy Racers" as the school's nickname and also have selected a racing-themed logo to represent them. The décor of the school will be racing themed and the halls will be filled with display cases (that they hope to fill with racing items). They also are planning racing-themed field trips and assemblies. The ribbon-cutting ceremony will be in late August (date TBA).(LVMS PR)(6-7-2007)
- Higher education fills need for speed: Colleges and universities are feeling NASCAR's need for speed. Institutions are expanding motorsports-related degree programs to meet the demand for high-skilled workers on racing teams and throughout the industry.
The trend is especially apparent in the Charlotte region, considered the cradle of the sport and host to Sunday's Coca-Cola 600 at Lowe's Motor Speedway. Consider:
• UNC Charlotte will offer industry-related electives in a master's program in sports marketing and management that starts this fall.
• Legislators are considering spending $500,000 to support motorsports training at community colleges.
• Belmont Abbey College in Gaston County launched a four-year business program in racing management last fall.
Graduates are winning, too: At Hendrick Motorsports, the hottest team in NASCAR, one-fourth of its engineers were trained at UNCC, school officials say. Other schools have alumni at companies such as Dale Earnhardt Inc. and NASCAR Images. The growth of motorsports programs coincides with the general increase in demand for skilled auto technicians. On Tuesday, Central Piedmont Community College dedicated its Joe Hendrick Center for Automotive Technology, which certifies current and prospective technicians to work for companies such as BMW and Toyota. On the motorsports side, CPCC already offers a machining certificate and has proposed opening a motorsports institute. The Rowan-Cabarrus Community College motorsports management technology program hosted an open house Wednesday night at the RCCC South Campus, 1531 Trinity Church Road in Concord.(Charlotte Observer)(5-24-2007)

- It's NASCAR 101 for Virginia State students: Students from Virginia State University got a taste Tuesday of what goes on behind the scenes of NASCAR. The tour was part of a new class at VSU called the Business and Marketing of NASCAR. Taught by Keith Green, director of public relations for RIR, the intent is to attract minorities to the sport. The class has "opened up some eyes to how big the sport is and how powerful it is, and also about the possibilities of inviting more minorities into the sport," Green said. They got to interview Jimmie Johnson, trudge through Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s hauler and wander the garage area of Richmond International Raceway as racing superstars and their crews tested the cars. Students spent a few minutes watching the cars speed around the track during testing, which was to run through Wednesday. They sat in on news conferences with drivers Ward Burton, Ricky Rudd and Johnson, and had a minute to ask Johnson questions. They talked to NASCAR official Kenneth Scott, an African-American. He led them though what's considered sacred ground to millions of fans _ the hauler that transports Earnhardt Jr.'s cars _ and spoke about his job and how he got there. He encouraged the students to pursue a NASCAR job.(more at the Richmond Times Dispatch)(4-5-2007)
