rebelracewriter Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 I know in just what I collected during intermission that we had over $1,500 donated in about ten-fifteen minutes....One group of veterans laid down the gaunlet of a $300 challenge......Benny Campbell took that challenge and upped the ante to $350, plus all the other various donations/amounts....The 50/50 winner even threw his winnings into the donation pot($157).....All in all it was a great night for the Wounded Warriors/Center for the Intrepid.......

I want to say a big Thank you to Greg Dinsmore who pitched in with my co workers and my family to get the car pretty tho she saw battle and is pretty scarred.. We will get her back to bling bling form.. To all of the Vets out there.. Thank you for keeping us safe and paving the way for the young troops to follow your footsteps in thier careers.

KISS_Racing Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 With that many races on that motor that thing was movin'.... Have to say I am proud of what Hesler Motorsports was able to do. Thanks to I-37 & staff for a great track to race on! To have this kind of consistency and only be 5 years into running the track is awesome.... Keep up all the hard work it shows You'll care....... Warriorfest3 is in the works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
