Carvana and Jimmie Johnson Team Up to Boost Automotive Education at Arsenal Technical High School
Carvana, the online used car buying and selling pioneer, has announced an exciting collaboration with racing legend Jimmie Johnson to support automotive education. This partnership is set to benefit students at Arsenal Technical High School, part of Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS), with a significant donation of equipment and funds to enhance their automotive program.
In conjunction with the upcoming Brickyard 400 race, students from Arsenal Technical High School’s automotive program will receive a new vehicle lift, tools, and other supplies, thanks to this generous donation from Carvana and Johnson. Additionally, Carvana will provide a project vehicle from its wholesale inventory for the students to repair and submit to next year’s World of Wheels show.

Carvana has always invested in developing the next generation of automotive professionals through internal training programs, and with this collaboration, we’re excited to extend our support to local technical school students at the outset of their careers.”
Highlighting the hands-on learning experience, students will also have the opportunity to meet Jimmie Johnson and experience the Brickyard 400 from a luxury suite. This interaction aims to inspire and motivate students towards successful careers in the automotive industry.
Jennifer Berry, CTE Pathway Director of Indianapolis Public Schools, acknowledged the impact of the donation: “Carvana’s generous donation of a new lift and project car to our Automotive Services program at Arsenal Technical High School is a wonderful addition that will significantly enhance our students’ hands-on learning experience. We are deeply grateful to Carvana for their support and commitment to the future of our students.”
