Infineon Raceway Speeds into Schools with Racing Rewards Program

Infineon Raceway SONOMA, Calif. (April 14, 2011) Infineon Raceway is racing into schools this spring with the all-new Racing Rewards program during the 2011 Big O Tires Racing Season.

The raceway, which will partner with elementary schools in the Sonoma and Vacaville Unified School Districts, will provide race tickets to reward students who demonstrate outstanding attendance and academic achievement in the classroom. “We feel like Infineon Raceway is always a great community partner, and this is another way that the raceway is supporting our students and their families,” said Louann Carlomagno, Superintendant of the Sonoma Valley Unified School District. “We’re very excited about it.” “Being a NASCAR fan for years, I understand the technology, skill and talent that go into putting together a successful team,” said John Aycock, Superintendant of the Vacaville Unified School District. “Just like in public education, we need to work hard every day so that we put together a program that’s successful for our students, and I’m appreciative that Infineon Raceway has provided these attendance and achievement incentives for our students.” More than 150 tickets will be provided to each district for Saturday of the Toyota/Save Mart 350 race weekend on June 25, which will feature the Thunder Valley Casino Resort 200 Pro West Series race, as well as NASCAR Sprint Cup Series practice. This marks the inaugural year of the Raceway Rewards program, which the raceway hopes to expand into several other school districts for the 2012 race season. Participating schools from the Sonoma Unified School District include: Dunbar Elementary School, El Verano Elementary School, Flowery Elementary School, Prestwood Elementary School, Sassarini Elementary School, Sonoma Charter School and Woodland Star Charter School.
