NDSU engineering student to showcase Bison race car on campus
NDSU's Bryce Haugeberg, an engineering student, will bring his Bison race car to campus on Friday, June 27.
NDSU engineering student and race car driver Bryce Haugeberg will return to campus on Friday, June 27, with his eye-catching Bison-themed race car for a special meet-and-greet event.
Haugeberg, who is from West Fargo, North Dakota, will be at the NDSU Bookstore from 1p.m. to 3:30 p.m. to sign autographs, take photos and showcase the custom-wrapped car that proudly features NDSU branding and colors. Fans also will be able to purchase Haugeberg’s merchandise, which is carried by the bookstore.
Haugeberg, a mechanical engineering major, has become known for applying his NDSU education directly to the track by combining engineering principles with a lifelong passion for racing. He debuted the NDSU-wrapped car earlier this season. Haugeberg drives the Bison-branded car in the ARCA Menards Series, a feeder program for NASCAR.
“I’ve got to really thank NDSU for hopping on board and starting this partnership with me,” Haugeberg told The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead earlier this year. “It’s really cool, especially being a fourth-generation student at the college. I just want to support Fargo and I’m proud to be a Bison. I hope to impress and make Bison Nation proud.”
The Bison-branded car and merchandise have sparked enthusiasm among students, alumni and racing fans alike. Haugeberg credits his professors and coursework with giving him a strong foundation in problem-solving and design, skills he now uses in real time as a driver and technician.
The June 27 event is open to the public and celebrates not just Haugeberg’s racing achievements but the hands-on, real-world learning that defines the NDSU experience.
