A little OT: Lionel Racing doing cool things for kids | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Hey all, came across this in my feed today. NASCAR is in north Texas this week for the big race Sunday.

Lionel Racing partners with NASCAR in all the event cities to promote a program called Speeding to Read

Just the other day, driver Aric Amirola visited with a couple nearby elementary schools (one at which I used to teach) to talk about the importance of reading. He also presented to kids with Lionel Die Cast cars for which they submitted the winning designs.

I think it's great that the overall company that provides us joy with trains, is promoting education.

Here's a screen shot from their Facebook Page

Trains and cars are a natural fit. Thanks for telling us about the Lionel program. This is the first that I have heard about it. NH Joe
