Dirt Track Care Packages Needed!
As you read this there are first responders that are searching through
debris for survivors, families discovering that the house that they
called home is no longer standing or that the loved one they saw Monday
morning is no longer with them. Oklahoma experienced the worst tornado
known to date in the small suburb of Moore outside of Oklahoma City,
stretching a mile wide with wind gusts up to 200 miles per a hour
flattening the town and Plaza Towers Elementary School. Two families
within the dirt track community have been hit hard by this disaster
along with countless fans and I-44 Riverside Speedway. Individuals have
joined forces to create a care package unlike any other.
They
are currently searching for any racing apparel or items that will be
sent to Oklahoma and distributed to those families and fans affected by
Monday’s tornado. If there are any drivers, race teams or tracks that
have t-shirts, sweatshirts or hats that can be donated to this cause
please contact Stephanie Odom at [email protected] / (805)
268-1393 or TeeJay Crawford at [email protected] / (618)
407-2460.
They will provide you with an address to send your
care package to POWRi Midget driver Christopher Bell’s mother Kathy who
lives just a few miles away from the devastated area. Thank you in
advance to any and all who help us with this cause and please forward
this to your racing friends and family. The Oklahoma racing community is
large and this is just one unique way that the racing community across
the nation can show their support.
TeeJay and Stephanie are
also collecting non-racing related items that can be sent to those in
need. Contact them if you would like to donate that way as they both
have created local donation centers that will be sending the collected
items to relief centers.

Hiya! One last reminder, I will be at Canyon speedway today to collect donation items! Got word from Kathy Bell that they are in need of baby/toddler items.. Gently used clothes wipes, good car seats, bottles etc.. If you have any to spare, it can either be dropped off at the track, or see the message above as to where to send things. If you are in the Phoenix Valley, contact me and I can get things where they need to go!
THANKS!!!
