Sponsorship Will Give Lincoln Tech Students Opportunity To Join AMSP Pit Crew

Lincoln Educational Services Corporation has announced that Lincoln Tech, the specialized automotive training school, has been chosen as the Official Technical School of Arrow McLaren SP (AMSP), formerly Arrow Schmidt Peterson Motorsports, for the 2020 INDYCAR racing season. 

The announcement will mark the fourth consecutive year that Lincoln Tech is sponsoring the team, continuing a long relationship with co-owner Sam Schmidt.

A major component of the associate sponsorship agreement is the Mentorship Program, which allows five Lincoln Tech students from across the country to join the AMSP team as members of the pit crew for five races this season. 

Students selected for the Mentorship Program will have the opportunity to attend team meetings, meet the team's drivers, run tires, assist with basic car prep and maintenance, and shadow front end crew member Cole Jagger—a graduate of Lincoln Tech's Indianapolis campus. 

In addition, students in the Indianapolis campus' computerized manufacturing program will continue to assist the team by machining components for AMSP's race cars.

"We've seen year after year how our students benefit from the experience of working with this team, and we're honored to once again sponsor Arrow McLaren SP," Lincoln Tech President and CEO Scott Shaw said. "This year, to serve as their official tech school, makes it even more special. For almost 75 years, Lincoln schools have helped students build careers in the auto industry—and what better way to experience 'auto technology' than in the pit of a real INDYCAR racing team?"

Lincoln Tech's logo will also be displayed on the No. 7 Arrow McLaren SP Chevrolet driven by rookie Oliver Askew.
