Students in the Potsdam Mentoring Program received a hands-on look at motorsports when race car driver Dustin Bradley visited A.A. Kingston Middle School on Oct. 15 during an after-school activity.
Bradley, who lives in Potsdam, brought his race car for students to examine and use for basic pit-stop maintenance. He also answered questions about racing, travel and costs, and allowed students to sit inside the car.
The students heard the car’s engine start and received autographed photos. The Potsdam Central School District lists the Mentor Program among the clubs and activities at A.A. Kingston Middle School, which serves students in grades 5 through 8.
The district’s clubs and activities information lists Candee Smith as the program coordinator. Questions about the program or future activities can be directed to Potsdam Central School District at (315) 265-2000.
