Dr. Tracy Rishel’s Spring 2010 Motorsports Fundamentals class tours Childress-Howard Motorsports. Childress-Howard runs a Rolex team in Grand-Am and this is the first car they built for their team to run. Tony Stewart was one of the drivers. The class also toured Crawford Composites, which produced the body for the pictured car. Trudie Crawford-Capece and Ryan McCarthy from Childress Howard Motorsports came to speak to the class earlier in the semester and invited the class to tour their facility.
