A spokesperson said “Rock Island Racing is keen on teaching our youth team member’s life skills such as drug prevention, the purpose of a good education, homework, school grades, time management and appearance. Simply put the real meaning of the word “TEAM“ these few skills will be beneficial to them as they develop into their adult life.”
“Our mentoring program connects Rock Island team leaders, parents and the children together learning how they interact as well as getting the parents involved teaching them family values knowing that family is the key to our youth becoming successful adults.”
