For the second year in a row, Quaker State has challenged high schools across the country to participate in their Quaker State “Best in Class Challenge.” The challenge is a 6-week automotive education competition where shop classes across the country are given the task of tuning, restoring and customizing a pre-owned car into a pristine, creative representation of their school. Now, the competition has been narrowed down to 55 semi-finalist schools, and Alfred E. Smith Career and Technical Education High School here in the Bronx is one of them!
Prizes for the top five schools will be:
1st Place Grand Prize – A feature digital article and video on automotive websites, a $2,500 credit account at AutoZone, a customized tool kit ($500 value) and the opportunity to sell their vehicle at auction with proceeds being awarded back to their school.
· 2nd Place Prize – A $2,000 credit account at AutoZone and ownership of their customized vehicle from the competition.
· 3rd Place Prize – A $1,500 credit account at AutoZone and ownership of their customized vehicle from the competition.
· 4th Place Prize – A $1,000 credit account at AutoZone and ownership of their customized vehicle from the competition.
· 5th Place Prize – A $750 credit account at AutoZone and ownership of their customized vehicle from the competition.
