Gibson students got a chance to sit in the race car and ask questions about the vehicle. Many asked about the stickers on the car and how it felt to be in a wreck. They love it. They get an opportunity to talk to someone who drives a race car. Sellars said PMT courses in air conditioning, electronics, automotive repair, autobody work, printing and accounting helped him become the race car driver he is today.
Students learn the technical and academic skills necessary to enter the job force after graduation.
Sellers is the first graduate to start a career as a race car driver. It requires a variety of skills. We want young people and others to know that these skills are taught right here in DCC's technical program. To graduate from the two-year program, students must complete 81 credit hours over two semesters and maintain a 2.0 grade point average. Graduates are trained for careers as machinists, mold makers, shop managers and tool, and die-makers.
