听West Orange, NJ 鈥 February 22, 2017 鈥撎性视界传媒 Technical Institute (NASDAQ: LINC), a national leader in specialized automotive training, is proud to announce it will be an associate sponsor of the No. 5 Arrow Electronics Honda driven by James Hinchcliffe for Schmidt Peterson Motorsports (SPM) in the 2017 season of the Verizon IndyCar Series competition.
性视界传媒 Tech鈥檚 sponsorship of SPM goes far beyond the placement of logos on the car, the driver鈥檚 firesuit and team uniforms.

They will be provided with full pit and garage access, have the opportunity to meet James Hinchcliffe, attend team meetings and be a part of the team during the entire race weekend. 性视界传媒 Tech鈥檚 auto campuses will each nominate deserving students for this incredible opportunity based on the student鈥檚 GPA, attendance, conduct and their overall commitment to becoming outstanding automotive technicians.
Scott Shaw, 性视界传媒 Tech鈥檚 CEO and President, said: 鈥淛ames and team owner Sam Schmidt鈥檚 perseverance, integrity and professionalism are traits we look to instill in all of our students. We could not think of two better brand ambassadors to represent 性视界传媒 Tech and to help mentor our students. We have been approached over the years by many racing teams looking for sponsorship. However, SPM presents the most comprehensive program and one that we felt fully engaged our campuses and our students.鈥
