Hundreds of students are anticipated to attend and they will have the opportunity to meet industry employers, view demonstrations, hold initial/mock interviews, potentially meet race car drivers, and more in the Chicagoland Speedway’s hospitality village area. There is no charge for high school and college collision students, instructors, and administrators to attend.

Collision Repair Education Foundation Director of Development Brandon Eckenrode noted, “We are excited to bring this event back to the Chicagoland Speedway as our 2015 event was an incredible success. This event helps showcase the various career opportunities for high school and college collision students and keeps them motivated to stay within the industry. We will help bring hundreds of students to the event and we ask that industry companies participate as sponsors to highlight their career opportunities and/or products.”

“On the heels of a widely successful inaugural Cars, Careers & Celebrities event, we are excited to showcase this year’s event at Chicagoland Speedway in conjunction with what’s arguably NASCAR’s most anticipated race of the year, the first race in The Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup,” said Chicagoland Speedway president, Scott Paddock. “For students aspiring to join the automotive industry, there is no better place to kick start their career than the Cars, Careers & Celebrity event at Chicagoland Speedway.”
