DAYTONA BEACH, FL – International Sport Compact Auto
Racing Series (ISCARS) will be represented at the upcoming 10th annual ATC
Car Show hosted by Daytona State College’s Advanced Technology College
campus on Saturday, Jan. 21.
“We are excited to have ISCARS represented at this year’s show and hope other
businesses will explore participating in the future,” said Doug Giacobbe, the
show’s principal organizer for the college. “We want each event to be better than
the year before, as it has proven to be an effective recruiting tool for Daytona
State and an enjoyable time for auto enthusiasts from throughout the region.”
ISCARS, based in Ormond Beach, FL, is “America’s Premier Stock Car Tuner
Series” and holds events in several states throughout the country.
Daytona State’s ATC campus and ISCARS have a common thread. The ATC,
located at 1770 Technology Blvd. in Daytona Beach, is where many of the
college’s high-technology training programs are housed, including computer
science, simulation technology, automotive technology and performance engine
technology, to name just a few. ISCARS has embraced modern technology,
introducing “Tuner-style” sport compact bodies, direct port fuel injection and
forced induction into traditional grassroots circle track stock car racing.
“I have been following the growth of the ATC over the years, and know several
students who are currently attending or have benefited from the education and
skills training they received there,” said ISCARS President and CEO Randy
Claypoole.
At the auto show, ISCARS will present the “Best in Show” trophy for the Fast and
Furious category, which closely identifies with the company’s target
demographic.
“I hope that our involvement with the ATC Auto Show will draw increased
attention to the college’s technologically advanced educational programs,” said
Claypoole. “Anything we can do to encourage today’s youth to seek a quality
education also will help them prepare for exciting careers in auto racing or other technology driven industries.”
ISCARS is sanctioned by the American Speed Association (ASA), www.asa-
