Winners Circle Project is back with another thrilling year!

Three schools embarked on a year-long journey, building Factory Five cars while mastering teamwork, safety, public relations and marketing.

Their journey ended and the new year began after the recent Watkins Glen Championship, rubbing shoulders with racing champ and sponsor, Chris Dyson!

Owego’s team won the championship with their stellar logo, newsletter, and commercial! Waverly and Watkins Glen followed closely behind in the placing.

Winners Circle Project is more than a competition; it’s a gateway to college and career opportunities. Some graduates of the program now work for Dyson Racing, while others thrive in marketing.

Marist College has even offered scholarships to WCP students, proving the program’s impact on their futures!

Mentorship by Pius and Mateo fuels students’ passion and purpose. The program wouldn’t be what it is today without their faithful leadership and expertise.

The program recently released a behind-the-scenes documentary, “From Zero to a Hundred” which has also shined a spotlight on the program! ️

After speaking with program leader, Pius about the end of the year he was quick to say, “Thanks FFR for helping kids learn how to learn, work together as a team and grow as people.” Well Pius, Factory Five is thankful to be involved with this incredible program.

Now, this year’s kit cars have been dropped off in New York. This year the program added two more schools! Stay tuned as Winner’s Circle Project continues inspiring the next generation!
