The Race 101 year wrapped up at the Graduation Ceremony in Conover, NC on February 11th. I was awarded the Marketing Excellence Award along with my Certificate for Graduation. I had the opportunity to meet the 2012 class and I am looking forward to mentoring the four girls that will be taking part next year.
It is time to start preparing our late model for our 2012 Arca season and making plans to assure two starts in the Nascar Canadian Tire Series on the Western swing. I am working on a new initiative to help bring awareness to women in all sports, and I will be participating in a Breast Cancer Awareness fundraiser as well.

As I try to make my way in the racing world, I can't help but notice the other women in the sport. The sexuality is definitely a part of being a woman in a mans world, but as far as some of the Go Daddy commercials go it seems a bit extreme to me. Then on Facebook the other day I notice the Maxim video of the Cope twins, that video is basically porn in my opinion. How these girls think that is going to help them get into the seat of a race car is absurd to me. They have driven in races I've watched before, specifically at Martinsville when they made Nascar History by being the first set of twins to start a Nascar Camping World Truck race, I was unimpressed. Neither cracked the top 20 and both were laps down.
I don't know what the magic formula is to make it in Nascar these days but I do know with the right drive and determination it will happen.

Race 101 2011 Class Graduation Ceremony
Sarah Cornett-Ching Recaps her Year with Race 101
Summerland, BC, February 6th 2012
After what seemed like the quickest year ever, the 2011 Race 101 students are now taking the knowledge they have accumulated and putting it to the test on their own. Out of the 15 students in the class one will be chosen as the 2012 Premier Driver at the Graduation Ceremony on Saturday February 11th. For the first time the new class of 2012 will be there to join last years class and be introduced at the end of the Ceremony.
Everyone is hoping to be named the 2012 Premier Driver and work with Tony Blanchard and the Race 101 house car next year but only one person will take the title.
" It seems like it was just yesterday I found out I had been accepted into the program and would be making my first trip down to North Carolina, and now it has come time to chose next year's Premier Driver."
"This past year is a blur, I know I tried my best at every assignment and had great success in my career due to that, but I can only hope it's enough to win the Premier Driver Award." Says the exuberant Cornett-Ching
Learning something new about nearly every aspect of the race car doesn't even begin to encompass what was taught at the Race 101 shop in Denver, NC last year. After a weekend of classes to actually retain any of the information, vigorously taking notes and re-reading was a must.
Sarah is proud to be graduating with her fellow students this weekend and has no regrets about her experience at Race 101. She will take everything she has learned with her wherever she races next and she will be able to use it to advance for the rest of her life. Race 101 is an amazing program designed to help young racers in their areas of need and it certainly does just that.
