The 15 th Annual Race for Automotive Education is planned for January 10 & 11, 2017 at ProKart Indoor

Racing, Burnsville, MN. The event, sponsored by the Alliance of Automotive Service Providers, Minnesota (AASP-

MN), serves as the primary fundraiser for the AASP-MN Automotive Education Fund, which provides financial

resources to support automotive students, enhance automotive programs and raise awareness of career

opportunities in the automotive service industry. Since its inception, the fund has disbursed nearly $190,000 directly

to students enrolled in automotive programs through the Association’s scholarship program 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. When the final checkered flag waves, the Race for Automotive Education is expected to

raise over $7,500. The majority of that money is earmarked to fund scholarships for students enrolled in NATEF-

certified automotive program (collision or mechanical) in the state of Minnesota. Scholarship awards will distributed

in the fall of 2017.
