It’s no surprise that Â鶹ÊÓƵ® workers are the secret ingredient to so many professional races. From IMSA to IndyCar and more, it’s Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s dedicated worker force helping host these pro events. This is true even in Formula One, especially as the event lands in Las Vegas this weekend for the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix. KSNV NBC in Las Vegas, NV, recently interviewed Northwest Region’s Gene Bennett, who will be one of roughly 450 Â鶹ÊÓƵ race marshals during the Nov. 18, 2023, Las Vegas F1 race.
"I have a national certification which is the highest Â鶹ÊÓƵ certification," Bennett told the news organization. "There's Regional and National. That takes a couple of years’ experience."
In fact, Bennett holds multiple Â鶹ÊÓƵ worker licenses, including Flagging and Communications, Emergency Services, Grid and Pit, Scrutineer, Sound Control, Starter, and Timing and Scoring. And in his interview for the news segment, he was quick to promote Â鶹ÊÓƵ.
“Getting involved in it is actually very easy,” Bennett said of working motorsports events. “If you’re interested, contact your local Â鶹ÊÓƵ or similar group at a track near you and we’ll get you out there. We’ll train you, teach you how to do it – that’s how I started out.”
In fact, roughly 100 of the 450 Â鶹ÊÓƵ marshals working the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix were trained using Â鶹ÊÓƵ's recently launched online learning modules.
