Mid-Plains Community College will unveil its 2026 raffle car at 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 13 during Throttle Fest, hosted by Cornbelt Customs on NPCC’s south campus.

The vehicle is the 21st raffle car built by the students in the Auto Body and Automotive Technology programs. Each year, students within those programs rebuild and restore a classic car to gain hands-on, real-world experience.

A total of 10,000 raffle tickets will be sold at $10 each and will be available wherever the car is displayed throughout the summer. An appearance schedule will be posted on the college’s website, mpcc.edu, as dates become available. 

Raffle tickets will go on sale beginning June 14. Tickets may be purchased at the welcome centers on MPCC campuses in North Platte, McCook, Broken Bow, Imperial, Ogallala and Valentine. Tickets will also be available for purchase through local businesses and online with a debit card at mpcc.edu.

Proceeds from the raffle help provide scholarships for students in the Automotive and Auto Body Technology programs while also helping offset the cost of building next year’s raffle car.

The drawing for the car will be at 2 p.m. during the Colonel Cody’s Cruise Show and Shine at Memorial Park in North Platte on Sept. 12.
