Fulton Speedways Own Katelyn Kane A 2012 Race 101 Scholarship Recipient

Fulton, NY January 11,2012 - Katelyn Kane one of the most popular drivers at the Fulton Speedway has been accepted as one of the 2012 Race 101 scholarship award winners. The program is based in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The Race 101 Yearly Driver Scholarship Program is the primary program for Race 101; It focuses on working with specially selected young drivers (ages 12-28) from the US and Canada through an application process similar to a college or university. The program lasts over the course of a year, with proven teaching and coaching methods that give the students one on one time with instructors, classroom time, track time, hands-on experience as well as homework assignments.

This is not a typical three day or one week racing school; this is a longer term, full year program that covers areas that are crucial for young drivers to learn and understand - which in turn educates the youth that is coming up in racing or drivers that are in need of guidance; ultimately helping the sport overall to continue to grow in a positive way. Teaching racers to have better instincts at driving, and give them a fuller understanding of the race car itself and how to communicate that to a crew. Racing on a budget, understanding the industry, the engineering and safety with guest experts.

The students also learn the importance and skills of the marketing and management side as well. The scholarship program is geared to find and assist deserving drivers who have shown talent, the drive, the desire and attitude to learn, earn, and better themselves; in an effort to advance in racing; as well as know how to properly build, maintain and have longevity in their careers.

Race 101 also fields a super late model 'house car' with an outstanding student as the Premier Driver each year. Race 101 students sponsors and partners are represented through the program's strong marketing and PR support.

They are going into our third year for their racing scholarship program with the support of a new partner, Howe Racing Enterprises. Howe will be assisting the program providing cars, learning tools and opportunities for the students.
