TOOELE VALLEY, UTAH — The National Auto Sport Association (NASA) has renewed its agreement with the Ford Racing High Performance Driving School, based at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah, which names the Ford Racing High Performance Driving School the Official Driving School of NASA. The partnership program includes contingency programs, discounts and other special benefits that will be advantageous to NASA members.
"We are very pleased to extend the agreement that makes the Ford Racing High Performance Driving School the Official Driving School of NASA," said John Larson, General Manager of Miller Motorsports Park. "We have an excellent relationship with NASA, as evidenced by the fact that we will be hosting the NASA Nationals for the second time in three years during September 2013, and they have been an absolute pleasure to work with."
Under the terms of the agreement, participants who complete the Ford Racing High Performance Driving School's four-day Race Licensing program will receive a provisional NASA competition license that makes them eligible to race in any NASA region in the country.
"We are happy to welcome back the Ford Racing High Performance Driving School as the official driving school of NASA," said Jeremy Croiset, NASA Director of Sponsorship. "They have a fantastic curriculum tailored to getting people with an interest in motorsports on track quickly and safely. We look forward to another great year with the Ford Racing High Performance Driving School."
"The relationship between Ford Racing and Miller Motorsports Park continues to be very successful," said Mickey Matus, Marketing Communication Manager, Ford Racing. "Beginning with the Ford Racing High Performance Driving School and continuing with the Ford Racing Boss Track Attack and Raptor Assault experiential programs, it is a partnership that has paid dividends for everyone involved. Being named the Official Driving School of NASA is a particular point of pride for everyone at Ford Racing."
The Ford Racing High Performance Driving School, founded in 2006, is the world's only driving school sponsored by Ford Motor Company. Based at the state-of-the-art Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah, it features a fleet of 30 track-prepped Ford Mustang GTs and 14 race-prepped examples of the Ford Mustang FR500S. It offers a variety of programs ranging from a two-hour "Mustang Experience" all the way to a four-day licensing school that includes a weekend of racing in a Ford Mustang FR500S. The school is also home to the Ford Racing Boss Track Attack for original owners of the Boss 302 Mustang and the new Ford Racing F-150 SVT Raptor Assault, which features training in the F-150 SVT Raptor truck on three different off-road courses at Miller Motorsports Park.
