The Carolinas Collision Association will hold its 2026 Speed to Succeed fundraiser Oct. 17 at Trackhouse Motorplex in Mooresville, N.C., with sponsor registration opening Aug. 1.
The go-kart racing event is the funding source for CCA’s Tool Grant Program, which has awarded $48,000 to 24 entry-level technicians in North and South Carolina since the program was established in 2023, according to the association. The $2,000 grants cover the professional tool sets students must buy before they can start work, an upfront cost the association identifies as a barrier for graduates entering collision repair facilities.
Eight students received grants this spring.
