| “Our volunteer program has grown over the past three seasons to provide essential tech, grid and track marshal support to our events,” said MotoAmerica Senior Operations Manager Niccole Cox. “The number of repeat volunteers has grown significantly so it’s been great seeing familiar faces round after round. The success of the program is a testament to the work of our staff and the dedication of our greatest fans. We look to our volunteer pool first when hiring and we hope everyone looking to give back to our sport or get their foot in the door will consider volunteering for an event near them.”
The 10-round 2018 series begins this season at Road Atlanta in Braselton, Georgia, April 13-15, and concludes at Barber Motorsports Park, September 21-23.
