LINCOLN
TECHNICAL INSTITUTE BECOMES TITLE SPONSOR OF SECOND MODIFIED
RACING SERIES EVENT AT STAFFORD SPEEDWAY |
|
Stafford
Speedway has announced that Lincoln Technical
Institute of East Windsor has rejoined the Stafford
Family of Sponsors for the 2011 season. Last season
Lincoln Tech was the title sponsor of the track’s
Late Model 100 and the 2011 season will see Lincoln
Tech as the title sponsor of the track’s second
Modified Racing Series event, schedule for Friday,
June 24.
“We’re excited to be coming back as a sponsor at
Stafford,” said Robert Wargo, High School Admissions
Representative for Lincoln Tech. “From the exposure
we had last year at Stafford, we had 5 new students
sign up for classes at Lincoln Tech, which is above
and beyond what we expected. The exposure we got was
awesome and it was great for the school, we were
very pleased with the results. For this year, we
wanted to try something different, but keep the
sponsorship local, so we decided on the Modified
Racing Series event. We’re always looking to try
something new, so it’s going to be the same track,
but it will be a different audience that comes to
the track that night.”
Last year’s Late Model 100 saw Lincoln Tech create a
unique winner’s trophy. Lincoln Tech’s students
airbrush painted the hood of a car, which was
presented to Woody Pitkat, the winner of the Lincoln
Tech Late Model 100, and Lincoln Tech students will
once again furnish a winner’s trophy. “We’re
definitely going to make another winner’s trophy,”
said Wargo. “We like to do things a little crazy and
wild so this trophy might be a quarter panel, or a
tailgate from a truck, but it will be some other
part of the car than hood and the kids will airbrush
a special paint scheme on it.”
From its beginnings as Lincoln Technical Institute
in 1946 to its current status as one of the nation’s
leading providers of career education and training,
the Lincoln Group of Schools are part of Lincoln
Educational Services Corporation and are committed
to providing students with the quality, hands-on
skills and training they need to succeed in an
ever-changing employment landscape. Lincoln
currently operates 43 campuses in 17 statets all

curriculum in Automotive, Health Sciences, Business
& I.T., Trades, Spa & Cosmetology, and Culinary
Arts.
