John and Newman Wachs Racing (NWR) have partnered with The Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), and Entergy Nuclear to promote the "Nuclear. Clean Air Energy" public awareness program. The goal is to make the public aware of environmentally clean ways to produce energy. In addition is the use of motorsports to promote recruiting efforts to college students about possibilities for careers in the nuclear power industry. NWR has created an innovative program with Entergy and NEI to aid in the industry’s recruiting efforts.

The first event for 2009 will be this year’s American Nuclear Society Student Conference, April 1-5 in Gainesville, Florida. John, along with his Swift 016 "Nuclear. Clean Air Energy" race car, is participating in the conference held at the University of Florida. John will discuss both the 2009 racing season and career opportunities in the nuclear energy industry. Scott Peterson, Vice President, Nuclear Energy Institute: "At a time when students across college campuses have a lot of concern about getting into the work force, nuclear engineers are in great demand as the nation begins designing and building advanced nuclear power plants."

Eddie Wachs, Team Owner, NWR: "Today, the majority of Americans believe that we should expand the use of nuclear energy in America. The renaissance has begun. There is no question we will see a new nuclear involvement in the U.S. to match what many other countries are doing in the rest of the World. This is all good. We can’t take the credit for this, but Paul Newman was, and I am, a big advocate of nuclear energy. If Paul were here today he’d be standing right beside me as we continue to support this important initiative."
