Philadelphia, PA – September 26, 2024 – The Urban Youth Racing School (UYRS) is excited to announce that, for the second time, its logo will proudly be featured on NY Racing’s #44 car at the Hollywood Casino 400 Presented by ESPN BET, set to take place on September 29, 2024, at Kansas Speedway. This exciting collaboration highlights the strong partnership between UYRS and NY Racing, using the NASCAR platform to raise critical funds to support UYRS’s mission of empowering inner-city youth through motorsports and STEM education.
The Hollywood Casino 400, part of the highly competitive NASCAR Cup Series, offers an incredible opportunity to bring attention to the impactful work UYRS has been doing for over 25 years. By featuring the Urban Youth Racing School logo on the #44 car, NY Racing and UYRS aim to create awareness and inspire action, encouraging fans and supporters to contribute to the future of motorsports and education.
“We’re thrilled to have our logo on NY Racing’s #44 car for the second time at such a prestigious event,” said Anthony Martin, Founder and CEO of Urban Youth Racing School. “This collaboration reflects how far we’ve come in diversifying motorsports and creating opportunities for young people from underserved communities. It’s not just about showcasing our brand, but about opening doors and inspiring the next generation of innovators and racers.”
The partnership between UYRS and NY Racing is a natural fit, as both organizations are committed to fostering diversity and providing pathways into an industry that has traditionally been difficult to access for many. John Cohen, Owner of NY Racing, echoed this sentiment: “We’re proud to team up with Urban Youth Racing School again. Their mission aligns perfectly with what we believe in—offering young people the chance to succeed in motorsports and beyond. We hope that by featuring their logo on our car, we can raise awareness and the funds they need to continue changing lives.”
