Charlotte, Roanoke, and Martinsville area high school students join Virginia Tech's College Access Collaborative along with current students, faculty and alumni for an exciting, enlightening day at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in downtown Charlotte. The event included engaging activities and exposure to diverse professionals and NASCAR team members who shared their exciting career paths. Students learned about the science behind racing, got a feel for race-day action by “driving” the racing simulator and competed in the Pit Crew Challenge.
