"After taking the Advanced Motorsports Training, I’ve gained knowledge on
machines and materials that I have never used before. It helped me
expand my skills further, and the books we were able to keep are a good," said Mike Sichette, Stewart-Haas Racing.
"The information and connections you get from the 5-day Motorsports Welding
School are just great. I would suggest this school to anyone who is
looking to improve their skills and knowledge," said Shane Love, Joe Gibbs Racing.
Established in 1997, the Motorsports Welding School is just one example of Lincoln Electric’s ongoing and long-time commitment to racing. In addition to these classes, Lincoln frequently provides race teams with technical support and trackside welding assistance.
