The Collision Repair Education Foundation and ASE will hold its third annual Cars, Careers, & Celebrities Expo event on Friday, September 15th at the Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Ill. in conjunction with the NASCAR Cup race taking place that weekend. The event will bring together hundreds of high school and college collision and auto service students, industry members, and sponsors. Over 30 companies are signed up to participate with the event and meet the attending students that will be traveling from the greater Midwest and beyond.
Collision Repair Education Foundation Director of Development Brandon Eckenrode noted, “We are excited to bring this career fair back to the Chicagoland Speedway this year. Through our partnership with ASE, we are also inviting high school and college auto service students to the event which should double the student attendance compared to previous years.
