Y.E.S. is the only motorsport educational programme that involves thousands of students across the USA. It assists teachers in directing young adults towards their long-term career goals, by introducing students to the various opportunities for professional motorsport career paths. They can interact with crew chiefs, mechanics, and individuals working in different support roles for the NHRA (National Hot Rod Association).

Job Corps is America's largest education and job training organisation for at-risk youth. The FFA organization works with young people to develop their potential for leadership and personal growth. Babcox is an automotive aftermarket publisher.
