This award supports the project Building SPEED, which addresses challenges to US global competitiveness by linking math, science and engineering to motorsports and, in particular, NASCAR. NASCAR has 75 million fans from a surprisingly broad range of demographic backgrounds, including a large group of people underserved by traditional STEM outreach. Three types of materials will be developed: 1) student worksheets and hands-on activities that reinforce the content knowledge mandated by state and national Science and Math Education Standards; 2) career information about how STEM is used in motorsports featuring people from a broad range of educational levels and companies, and demonstrating the full diversity of people involved in STEM and 3) hands-on materials to enhance the public's understanding of the math and science behind motorsports. Dissemination is accomplished by partnerships with industrial sponsors, informal science venues and other academic institutions. Dissemination mechanisms include teacher workshops, public science events at race tracks, street festivals and science museums, and visits to schools. Dissemination will occur in three locations (Dover, DE; Dallas/Fort Worth, TX and Charlotte, NC), with each dissemination consisting of a week of events prior to races in fall 2008 and spring 2009.

该奖项支持“建设速度”项目，该项目通过将数学，科学和工程与赛车运动，特别是NASCAR联系起来，解决美国全球竞争力面临的挑战。NASCAR拥有7500万粉丝，他们来自令人惊讶的广泛人口背景，包括一大群传统STEM外展服务不足的人。三种类型的材料将被开发：1）学生练习和动手活动，加强由国家和国家科学和数学教育标准规定的内容知识; 2）关于如何在赛车运动中使用STEM的职业信息，包括来自各种教育水平和公司的人，展示了参与STEM的人们的多样性，3）实践材料，以提高公众对赛车运动背后的数学和科学的理解。传播工作是通过与工业赞助者、非正式科学场所和其他学术机构建立伙伴关系来完成的。传播机制包括教师讲习班、在赛马场举行的公共科学活动、街头节日和科学博物馆以及访问学校。传播将发生在三个地点（多佛，DE;达拉斯/沃斯堡，得克萨斯州和夏洛特，NC），每一个传播包括一个星期的事件之前，在2008年秋季和2009年春季的比赛。
