Charlotte, NC, – Rev Racing and NASCAR Multicultural Development have decided to host a separate combine for the 2015 NASCAR Drive for Diversity youth participants.
“Separating the youth participants from the late model and K&N drivers allows us a unique opportunity to spend more time and communicate with each driver. This can provide a learning opportunity for these young aspiring drivers regardless if they are selected for program,” said Max Siegel, owner of Rev Racing. “As it remains a goal of ours to focus on the growth and development of both our academy-style program and youth participants, we want to have complete focus when it comes to evaluation and performance measurement.”
Each year the NASCAR Drive for Diversity initiative and its competition arm, Rev Racing, seek to obtain the highest quality of applicants representing diverse backgrounds and develop them into successful NASCAR drivers. The deadline to be considered for the 2015 NASCAR Drive for Diversity Youth Combine is September 11, 2015. Youth combine participants will be evaluated on their driving skills and past experience on November 2nd at Concord Motorsports Park, located in Charlotte, NC. The general NASCAR Drive for Diversity Combine is accepting applications until September 4, 2015 and will take place October 19-21 at Langley Speedway in Hampton, VA.
