Whoa! You don’t want to miss this!

For many years, 4-H has been looking to partner with NASCAR. Well, I am pleased to announce that through a very generous donation made possible by our Board Chair, Jim Borel of DuPont—that dream has become a reality.

On Sunday, October 4, the 4-H Clover and website address will be featured on the back TV panel of the No. 24 DuPont Chevrolet driven by Jeff Gordon at the Kansas Speedway.  Attached is a photo rendering of the car design with the Clover.  What a great way to kick-off National 4-H Week—and gain additional exposure for 4-H National Youth Science Day and the National Science Experiment: Biofuel Blast.

In addition to this feature placement on Jeff Gordon’s car, DuPont is providing 4-H with visibility at the Kansas Speedway, an opportunity to address an enormous crowd in the DuPont hospitality area, and press promotion in the racing media from Jeff Gordon’s PR team. We thank Jim and DuPont for their generous support of 4-H and 4-H National Youth Science Day.

I look forward to joining with you all to watch with excitement as the clover takes to the track on October 4th!

Don Floyd, National 4-H Council
