LOCAL RESIDENTS WELCOME NASCAR XFINITY SERIES
TEAM HAULERS TO ROAD AMERICA 

- New location at Plymouth High School Welcomes Racers and Fans - 




ELKHART LAKE, Wis., July 26, 2017  On Friday, August 25, NASCAR XFINITY Series team haulers will gather at a new location, Plymouth High School, in nearby Plymouth, Wis., prior to their convoy to Road America for the NASCAR XFINITY Johnsonville 180. Last year's hauler parade drew hundreds of NASCAR fans and an impressive welcome was also extended between local residents. 

The Plymouth Chamber of Commerce, City of Plymouth, Plymouth Joint School District, the Downtown Arts and Merchants Group and Road America expect even greater hauler participation and attendance this year and encourage all fans, residents and businesses along the route to participate in welcoming the return of the NASCAR XFINITY Series teams to Sheboygan County.
 
The haulers will gather for the party at Plymouth High School between 2:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Fans are invited to attend, free of charge and the event will be held rain or shine. The convoy to the track will be led by a Johnsonville semi and will depart around 5:30 p.m. following through Plymouth before proceeding north on Hwy 67 to Road America.

The new location of the hauler parade at Plymouth High School provides additional exposure for the new NASCAR Acceleration Nation program to nearby middle school and elementary students. The NASCAR Acceleration Nation Program is the sport's first-ever national learning and entertainment platform created just for kids.
 
NASCAR Acceleration Nation will impact children across the country through an in-school Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) program, created together with Scholastic. Classroom content will focus on teaching the aerodynamic principles of Drag, Downforce and Drafting, the NASCAR Three D's of Speed™.

The fun and dynamic AccelerationNation.com will engage kids with exclusive content and NASCAR-themed games and activities, while the NASCAR Acceleration Nation Experience will bring the platform to life for children and families at racetracks. Families are encouraged to come out to the hauler parade to see and learn more about the new NASCAR Acceleration Nation program.
 
The green flag drops at 2 p.m., Sunday afternoon for the Johnsonville 180 NASCAR XFINITY Series race, which will also be broadcast live on the NBC Sports Network. Additional rounds for the SCCA Pro Trans-Am Series and ARCA Series will fill up the action-packed weekend.
