This is the first learning segment for motorsports students.  During the summer I will post discussions or assignments regarding motorsports related material.  I hope to increase excitement as well as to get you thinking.  The purpose of the program is to make students see everything but the cars going around the track.  The business behind the sport is fascinating! 

We will start from the beginning. 

Name the various business sectors within a series and list as many careers as you can.
