A very important group of young ladies will be leading the track walk at this year’s NHRA Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals. The group Girls Nite In will lead the track walk monday morning for the 60th running of the NHRA Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals. Girls Nite In was started by high school teacher, Jimmelynn Rice, after hearing the not-so-high-school conversations that her students were having in between class. So she decided to create a safe refuge for the girls to talk about all of the struggles they were going through. The first meeting gathered around 55 girls. A few years later, the word quickly spread. Today, over 100 girls’ lives are being changed by Girls Nite In. Not only all over America, but in countries such as Argentina as well. Girls Nite In is an amazing group that has set out to help adolescent girls work through their hardships and help them reach their maximum potential. Having the girls at a spectacular event like the U.S. Nationals, introduces them to even more positive female figures such as Erica Enders-Stevens, Courtney Force, Brittany Force, Alexis Dejoria, and Angie Smith to name a handful. Drag racing is such a diverse sport, that leaves its spectators with a positive takeaway during and after the race. To find out more about Girls Nite In check out their website.
The 60th NHRA Chevrolet U.S. Nationals take place September 1st, 2014, in Indianapolis, Indiana.
