Applications for next year’s GNMS Racing team are now open.

If you’ve ever thought about being part of the team, this is your chance!

GNMS Racing isn’t just about building and racing cars. It’s about learning how to solve problems, work as a team, communicate ideas, and push through challenges when things don’t go your way.

We’re looking for students who are willing to learn, put in the work, and be part of something bigger than themselves.

🏁 FROM TROUP COUNTY TO TALLADEGA! 🏁

In just 4 weeks, 10 Greenpower Goblin teams from 6 of our Troup County School System elementary schools are heading to the legendary Talladega Superspeedway to face off against the best in the nation at the 2026 Goblin Games!

We are seeing explosive growth in our STEM programs:
📈 43% increase in TCSS competing teams over last year.
🏫 50% increase in participating TCSS schools.
🏆 20% of the entire national field is representing Troup County!

By mastering engineering, aerodynamics, & teamwork at the elementary level, these students aren't just racing—they are building a foundation for elite success in our Middle School Greenpower programs. We’re not just growing racers; we’re growing the next generation of engineers.

Good luck to all our teams! Let's bring home the hardware! 🏆

HCES is rocking and rolling! Way to go panthers!

After Saturday's 6th Annual Kia Spring Fever Goblin Rally, we have updated the rankings among our Troup County School System teams. The scores represent the cumulative total of each team's 3 best race event scores. Long Cane Elementary Greenpower is leading the way, and HCES Greenpower is only 0.02 points behind them. Hollis Hand Elementary School is only a few points behind them both and has been a strong contender all season. We love seeing that we have 2 teams nationally ranked in the top 10, and we have 8 teams ranked in the top 25 of the National Standings! Shoutout to Wolfpack Racing from Clearview Elementary, Falcon Racing from Franklin Forest Elementary, & Silver Knights Racing from Ethel W. Kight Elementary School - for making the top 25. It will be exciting to see how the season finishes at Talladega Superspeedway on May 16, 2026! Which team do you think will finish on top this season???

A rain delay didn’t slow us down! So proud of these kids and their ability to adapt and be flexible.

Both cars placed in the top 10 today! 115 was 4th and 116 was 8th. Way to go panthers!
