November 2006 (Medialink) -- Kevin Harvick's recent performances in the Expertise Challenge mean big bucks not only for his No. 29 Goodwrench racing team, but for budding goodwrenchers across the country. Following a second Challenge race win, $200,000 was donated for scholarships to encourage men and women to pursue careers as automotive technicians.

That's good news for the automotive industry - which anticipates it will need 35,000 new technicians every year for the next five years. A new breed of technician is needed today to fix cars, since every major function that's part of a car is controlled by computers.

In addition to the scholarship money, 29 Chevy Avalanches were given out to lucky fans as part of the No. 29 Goodwrench Expertise Challenge.
