MB Motorsports #63 Preview: Drivin’ for Linemen 200 At Gateway Motorsports Park

VATTEROTT EDUCATIONAL CENTERS SHOWCASES AUTOMOTIVE PROGRAMS AT GATEWAY

It’s not often that a team gets to race at its home track.  This week, however, when the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series rolls into Gateway Motorsports Park, that will be the case not just for MB Motorsports, but for their driver, Tyler Tanner and their marketing partners Vatterott Educational Centers, Inc., Mittler Brothers Machine & Tool and Excel Bottling.

“Gateway is really special for us and our sponsors, as we’re all locally based,” says team owner Mike Mittler.  “It creates a wonderful opportunity to engage with them at the track.”

“It’s pretty cool,” adds Tanner.  “Vatterott has a number of campuses here in the St. Louis area, so this is their home track.  Excel Bottling is close by and of course, Mittler Brothers is
from the area as well.”

With 20 locations in 7 states, as well as a vibrant online community, Vatterott Educational Centers, Inc. is showcasing their automotive programs on the #63 Chevy Silverado in the Drivin’ For Linemen 200.  According to Kevin Smith, Vatterott Corporate Director of Marketing, “Our automotive program is quite diverse.  Students can choose from our Automotive Technology, Auto Body and Alternative Fuel Vehicle Repair Technician, Commercial Driver’s License, Powersports and Diesel Mechanic programs.  You can visit vatterott.edu for all the details.”
