A Heartwarming Gesture from Brad Keselowski for the NASCAR Technical Institute Graduates

Team Penske’s owner Roger Penske said in a NASCAR media statement, “Universal Technical Institute graduates have the skills to deliver for our organization, which is why we rely on UTI to help us identify new talent.”

He added, “UTI has not only helped us win on the race track. Its graduates work throughout our organization. This special paint scheme is a great way to recognize the recent graduates of UTI and celebrate our partnership.

“We look forward to honoring the UTI graduates on the No. 2 car in Texas next weekend.”

Additionally, the institute’s executive John Dodson reveals that Keselowski’s own company ‘Keselowski Advanced Manufacturing’ hires the UTI graduates regularly.

Not just Brad’s company but almost everyone in NASCAR vouch for the talent of the institute’s graduates.

He said, “It’s really cool when you get a call from Brad Keselowski saying I’m depending on you guys, we need the right kind of guys up here. He wants the all-star graduates, he gets them and he pays them well. Their future’s bright.

“I think that’s quite a testament when a NASCAR champion is contacting you for their own trained talent.”
