"NASCAR contributed $5,600 to the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities in February 2002. The grant will be used to award NASCAR Scholarship awards to eligible students attending HACU-Member and Partner Institutions.
""HACU appreciates the generous support from NASCAR,"" said Dr. Antonio R. Flores, HACU President and CEO. ""Last year HACU awarded several scholarships to students at HACU-Member and Partner Institutions and along with NASCAR, we will support Hispanic higher education again this year.""
The National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) is becoming the fastest growing spectator sport in the U.S. Besides the premier Winston Cup Series of races, NASCAR has two other national series-the Busch Series, Grand National Division, and the Craftsman Truck Series. NASCAR also sanctions Regional NASCAR Touring Divisions, and NASCAR local divisions compete on nearly 100 short tracks, both dirt and asphalt, in 39 states. NASCAR sanctions more than 2,200 events at 136 racetracks. For more information on NASCAR, visit www.nascar.com.
The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities represents more than 315 colleges and universities committed to Hispanic higher education. HACU-Member and Partner Institutions are located in 23 states, Puerto Rico, and 8 countries in Latin America and Spain. For information on HACU, visit HACU's website at www.hacu.net.
The NASCAR Scholarship Award is offered in honor of Wendell Scott, one of the first minority drivers in the motor sports industry with a long career in the NASCAR Grand National Tour.
