HELP HEAL 'THE REAL DEAL'
IMIS Show and Jillian's of Downtown Indianapolis
Team Up For Shane Hmiel Racing to Recovery Events
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 30TH!!!
IMIS INDUSTRY RECEPTION – SILENT AUCITON
On Tuesday, Nov. 30, International Motorsports Industry Show (IMIS) Show attendees, exhibitors and race fans will have an opportunity to help 'Heal the Real Deal' as the Shane Hmiel Racing to Recovery Fund will host a benefit auction and public fundraiser as part of the IMIS Show kick-off. The two-part benefit will begin with an auction during the IMIS Show kick-off reception at Lucas Oil Stadium. Auction items will be available for silent bidding from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. EST during the IMIS reception. (IMIS credentials required for admission.)
Proceeds from the IMIS kick-off reception silent auction will also benefit Eric Saunders, a Tony Stewart Racing (TSR) affiliated motocross rider who was paralyzed in a practice accident in late August. Saunders is the son of long-time Hoosier Tire representative, Irish Saunders. The Hmiel family hopes to continue the Racing to Recovery fund after Shane has recovered and Saunders will be one of the first riders/race drivers to benefit from this organization.
