Billy Vincent, former team manager of Arrow McLaren, is partnering with the Lucas Oil School of Racing to develop a team-based educational program in Indianapolis. This program is aimed at individuals with limited or no hands-on racing experience who aspire to become mechanics, engineers, and pit crew members. Vincent noticed a knowledge gap among job applicants in the pro racing industry and aims to provide real-world understanding of how a racing team works. The academy will use the Lucas Oil School’s cars and recreate the training model of the Jim Russell Racing School. Vincent wants to teach people how to go racing by actually going racing, providing a foundation in various skills such as car assembly, maintenance, and teamwork. The program is set to launch in late summer, where students will undergo a six- or eight-week curriculum that includes hands-on experience in the shop and participation in Lucas Oil School of Racing events. Vincent hopes this program will produce better-prepared candidates for job opportunities in the racing industry.
