Learn about the Science of Speed with Acceleration Nation by NASCAR

Disclaimer: The Fandads were compensated for this post to talk about the new NASCAR Acceleration Nation App. All thoughts and opinions are our own. 

Since watching the Cars movies with my children they know a little about NASCAR and motorsports, but they never really learned much about the science of racing. What does a blue flag with a diagonal yellow stripe mean? What is the difference between "downforce" and "drag"?

If you have your children asking you questions like this then you need to download the new Acceleration Nation app by NASCAR. The website and app, which is available on Android and iPhone, features fun games, info on races, details on cars, and learning materials about the science of racing!

Just because the school year is coming to a close, it does not mean that the learning ends. Thanks to our friends at Frito-Lay and the Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC), children can get a free pass to any participating ASTC center throughout the United States until June 5th.

So how can your child get one of these passes? Pick up a Frito-Lay 2 Go package and look for the packaging that features a robot, an astronaut, or a dinosaur. These packages will give you the information on how to get the passes emailed to you.  Simply and easy. Isn't technology awesome?
