Kia Racing & Donors Choose


Kia Racing’s Forte Koups return to action in California this weekend at legendary Laguna Seca. Twisting through the picturesque Monterey Peninsula hills, the Koups will be driving for charitable dollars with DonorsChoose.org, the innovative online charity, emblazoned across the hoods.

Kia recently made a $1 million donation to DonorsChoose.org and launched a “Double Your Impact” campaign to support more than 125,000 public school students nationwide in zip codes we call home. Kia is urging race fans to become “citizen philanthropists” and help support 125,000 in-need public school students across America. By matching community donations, KMA will bring more than $2 million in learning materials and experiences to schools before the end of the year.

With only two races remaining in the 2012 season, co-drivers Nic Jönsson and Andy Lally look to close the gap to first place. The No. 10 DonorsChoose.org/Infinity Audio Forte Koup is just 18 points out of the lead for the Street Tuner (ST) class driver and team title.

The green flag drops at 2:30 p.m. PT/5:30 p.m. ET. Visit the Kia Racing Facebook Page (facebook.com/kiaracing) for live updates from the track or visit http://grand-am.com for live timing and scoring.

In addition, tune into the NBC Sports broadcast of the Pirelli World Challenge season finale at Sonoma Raceway on Sunday at 12:30 PT/3:30 p.m. ET.
