UTI, with its specialized NASCAR Technical Institute (NTI) division, is the exclusive educational partner of NASCAR. NTI is located in Mooresville, N.C., and offers students specialized training for a career in automotive and racing technology.

The company also offers a Manufacturer-Specific Advanced Training (MSAT) program to qualified students, which offers training for manufacturers such as Audi, BMW, Porsche, Volvo, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz.

“This sponsorship will give IHRA major exposure to students with a vested interest in the automotive industry,” said IHRA President Aaron Polburn. “In addition to raising awareness of IHRA, this could open the door for prospective students to one day have the opportunity to work as a crew member or crew chief of a drag racing team, or find a vocation making performance products for drag racing applications.”
