LINCOLN
TECHNICAL INSTITUTE RENEWS TITLE SPONSORSHIP OF
MODIFIED RACING SERIES EVENT AT STAFFORD SPEEDWAY |
Stafford
Speedway has announced that Lincoln Technical Institute of East Windsor has
renewed their title sponsorship of the Lincoln Tech 80 Modified Racing
Series event. The Lincoln Tech 80 is scheduled for Friday, June 22 and will
continue a relationship between Stafford and Lincoln Tech that originated
with Lincoln Tech sponsoring the Late Model 100 in 2010.
“We’re excited to be coming back as a title sponsor at Stafford,” said
Robert Wargo, High School Admissions Representative for Lincoln Tech. “We’ve
been very pleased with the return we’ve seen on admissions as a direct
result of our involvement with the Speedway. We’ve had several students come
directly from Stafford, DARE Stock driver Kris Fluckiger is a Lincoln Tech
graduate, Stafford Official Rich Keator is currently a student with us, and
Ltd. Late Model driver Cory Casagrande has just enrolled with us and he will
start classes in September. Overall, it’s been a very positive response
since we began our sponsorship at Stafford.”
In addition to supporting the race with their title sponsorship, Lincoln
Tech has also brought a unique look to the winner’s trophy. Two years ago,
Lincoln Tech’s students airbrush painted the hood of a car to present to the
winner of the Late Model 100. While there was no special trophy for last
year’s MRS event, plans are in the works for Lincoln Tech students to once
again come up with a unique winner’s trophy for the MRS race.
“We don’t have any concrete plans as of yet, but we’re looking into having
the students put together another trophy that we can present to the race
winner this year,” said Wargo.
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 over 40
campuses in 17 states all across the nation, including as far west as
Nevada, Colorado, and Texas. Lincoln Tech offers curriculum in Automotive,
Health Sciences, Business & I.T., Trades, Spa & Cosmetology, and Culinary
Arts. The East Windsor branch specializes in the fields of Auto, Auto Body,
Diesel, Motorcycle, HVAC, Electrical, and Welding. For more information
