AASP-MN Announces 3rd Annual Race For Automotive Education

Since its inception, the foundation has dispersed nearly $25,000 directly to students enrolled in automotive programs through the Association’s scholarship program, Lights On for Safety event and Skills USA competition.

AASP-MN members and other industry supporters will organize teams to compete in kart racing at speeds of up to 40 miles per hour. State-of-the-art computerized timing equipment will add a competitive edge to the total race experience. When the final checkered flag waves, the Race For Automotive Education is expected to raise well over $10,000. The majority of that money is earmarked to fund scholarships for students entering the second year of a two-year, NATEF-certified automotive program (collision or mechanical) in the state of Minnesota. Scholarship awards will be $500.00 per student, and will be distributed in the fall of 2005.

The AASP-MN Education Foundation is yet another initiative of the Association’s Workforce Task Group. The task group’s objective is to identify strategies and direct AASP-MN’s efforts to attract and retain qualified employees to the automotive service industry. The task group is made up of mechanical and collision shop representatives, industry suppliers and automotive educators.
