PENTICTON, BRITISH COLUMBIA - After a year of
learning and honing her skills on the technical and marketing side of the
motorsports world, Sarah Cornett-Ching and the class of 2011 will graduate from
the Race 101 program in a Gala Awards Dinner and Graduation Ceremony held in
North Carolina this coming Saturday night, February
11th.
Each graduating member will receive a diploma, and
several awards will be handed out during the evening, including the Race 101
Premiere Driver award, which the top member of the class will receive during the
ceremony.
"It has been a very exciting year, and I have learned
so much with the Race 101 program", says Cornett-Ching. "It would really be an honor to be named
the Premiere Driver for 2012. There
are a lot of great racers in this class, and to win this award would really put
an exclamation point on the great season that we have
had."
Over the last few weeks, Sarah has been in the
running for the “Always a Champion” contest where her video along with several
others were voted on. The voting
just ended on February 5th, but the results of the contest will not
be released for a couple more weeks.
“I really have to thank everyone that supported us
through this contest”, reflects Cornett-Ching. “We really have some great race fans,
and friends that voted everyday for us, and it would be so helpful to our
program if we won the contest”.
The Always a Champion contest is offering (5) winners
a prize of $10,000 in sponsorship for the 2012 season, and one grand prize
winner will receive a $50,000 sponsorship.
Since 2005, Sarah Cornett-Ching has
racked up a pile of awards, including Most Aspiring driver as well as Champion
in her division that year. Two years later, after moving up a class, she
claimed the championship again. In 2008 she claimed her first ever top
five finish in the NASCAR Whelen All American Series, and the following year she
finished third overall in the series points standings. In addition to her
third place in points, she also claimed awards for Most Improved driver, Most
Dedicated to the Sport and West Coast Sportsman Rookie of the Year Award.
In 2010 she claimed fifth place in points in both the Okanagan Street Stock
Series and the West Coast Sportsman Series. She was also named Most
Improved Driver and Most Dedicated Driver of the West Coast Sportsman
Series. In 2011, Sarah again won Most Improved Driver in the West Coast
Sportsman Series, finishing fourth in points, and won Rookie of the Year, and
Most Improved driver in the OK Tire ARCA West Series, finishing eighth in
points.
