will showcase their skills in front of
NASCAR team owners at the fifth annual Drive for
Diversity Testing &
Evaluation Combine October 15-16 at South Boston
Speedway in South Boston, VA.
This year's candidates were selected from more than 200
applicants from
across the United States.
"The number of minority and female drivers interested in
participating in
the Drive for Diversity program continues to grow each
year in both quantity and quality," said Malcolm
Calhoun, vice president of Access Marketing &
Communications, which runs the Drive for Diversity
Program. "Our partnership with NASCAR allows us to
provide these up-and-coming drivers the opportunity to
showcase their talent and dedication to motorsports."

The 24 drivers participating in the Combine, including
the seven members of the 2007 Drive for Diversity class,
will participate in on- and off-track
evaluation. The on-track session will be conducted in
NASCAR Grand National Division cars and will include
testing, qualifying laps and intermediate runs.
Drive for Diversity affiliated team owners will select
eight drivers
to compete for their teams in 2008 in either the NASCAR
Grand National
Division or the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series.

The strongest field of drivers in the
history of the Drive For Diversity program
took the track for the fifth annual Testing
& Evaluation Combine at South Boston (Va.)
Speedway Monday. Half of the 24 drivers
participated in the on-track evaluation. The
remaining 12 drivers took part in a media
portion of the event. FULL SPEED51 STORY HERE
Maine native Katie Hagar, 21, is attending
her second combine. She did not make the
final class last year.
“The pressure is just the same,” Hagar said.
“That doesn’t go away anytime you have to
prove yourself in front of a large group of
people that can open up some doors and some
opportunities.”
Hagar said the previous experience in the
combine did help her know what to expect
from the high-pressure atmosphere.
“I was just focusing on nailing my points. I
just wanted to show them that I can do this
and they need a female in the Busch East
that can wheel it."

From the October 14th,
2007
Hagar driving hard into next career turn
A former Lincoln
Academy athlete turns to auto racing.
by STEVE SOLLOWAY
Don't
tell Katie Hagar she can't. Don't stand in her way,
either.
She
is a 21-year-old woman from Nobleboro and a Lincoln
Academy graduate who hasn't forgotten how to put a
basketball through a hoop and a soccer ball into a net.
Those two sports were her hobbies, diversions, let's
say, from her real passion.
Katie Hagar is a race car driver but even that label
doesn't describe her in full. She wants more.
Monday and Tuesday, she and 23 other young drivers will
be at South Boston Speedway, the legendary short track
in Virginia. The two days are an audition under NASCAR's
Drive for Diversity. About half of the group is female.
Most of the others are from Hispanic or African-American
backgrounds.

treatment, to honor those who have been lost, and to celebrate those who have survived.
