Nashua, New Hampshire - Nashua was one of thirteen NH cities that participated in the New Hampshire Motor Speedway “Race to Benefit Education” lottery drawing to select a driver to win the LENOX Industrial Tools 301 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race held at the NH Motor Speedway on July 15th, 2012.
On behalf of the city, Bob Hallowell, President of the Nashua Board of Education, chose driver #5, Kasey Kahne, who went on to win, awarding Nashua with $20K in grant money for education on behalf of zMax and the speedway.
In honor of #5, the Nashua school district is discussing hopes to launch a summer Race to Read program for 5th grade students for the 2012-13 school year and possibly establishing a Summer Reading Trust Fund with the grant funding.
A check presentation ceremony is planned for Wednesday, September 5, 2012 at 12 noon at Pennichuck Middle School, 207 Manchester Street, Nashua, NH.
