The NASCAR Diversity Mentorship Program is a joint effort between NASCAR’s Series Operations and Diversity Affairs departments that aims to select two (2) students to take part in a weekend-long internship at Richmond International Raceway. Selected students will be paired up with a NASCAR Series Operations representative, who will act as the on-site liaison assisting in all of the student’s needs throughout the weekend. Students are given a detailed itinerary that outlines their scheduled events which often includes shadowing industry professionals, tours of the facility, sitting-in on industry meetings, as well as assisting NASCAR in pre-race and post-race activities. In many cases, the agenda for the students is customized to fit their degree program and interests, as the program reaches many areas of our sport including sports marketing, communications, event coordination, sales, public relations, television, and radio.
