When do you intern?
Stafford Motor Speedway offers several internships each spring, summer, and into the fall. The racing season officially begins April 27th and runs until September 29th. We look for interns interested to fill in as much time in during these dates.

Camera work, video packages, non-linear editing, race-related statistics research, Audio engineering, Video engineering, Graphics work, and various reporting work are among some of the duties necessary to a successful race day. Additional duties will inevitably arise throughout the course of the racing season. We are also opening up to marketing students this year to help with our midway attractions and kids events.
