Charlotte, N.C. (May 2, 2011) – NASCAR announced today the 2011 Fueling Dreams Tour, a creative and multifaceted program whose aim is to identify talented drivers and provide them with the tools and opportunities to fulfill their dreams of becoming race car drivers.
Additionally, Fueling Dreams introduces a cross-section of young fans to NASCAR through resources, tools, experiential engagement and career opportunities within motorsports to help develop the next generation of motorsports executives.
“The Fueling Dreams Tour is an innovative, hands-on initiative that brings core elements of NASCAR to communities and new audiences across the country,” said Marcus Jadotte, NASCAR vice president, public affairs and multicultural development.
“NASCAR views this program as a necessary strategy to expose under-served communities to NASCAR and motorsports opportunities which can benefit all young people looking to connect with sports in non-traditional ways,” said Marcus Jadotte, NASCAR vice president, public affairs and multicultural development.
Over the course of 10 months, the Fueling Dreams Tour will blanket the nation, touching youth and families through racing simulators, show cars, contests, giveaways and online racing.
