We would like to thank everyone who came from the surrounding communities to support the 3rd Annual Officer Jackson Winkeler Memorial fundraiser Saturday evening at Lake View Motor Speedway. Our board members and several other volunteers worked hard to pull off such an awesome event in Jackson’s memory.
• Scott and Sophie Tripp allowed us to use LVMS as the event venue for the third year in a row! None of this would be possible without them
• Brandon Montgomery with Full Throttle Racing Imaging built a custom trophy that was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen – he also designed the awesome t-shirt and flyers for the event (and tolerated Tom and Paige daily for the three months leading up to the race)
• Josh Newberry with Coastal Exterior Solutions cooked (and delivered) 15 smoked boston butts and corn casserole for our plate sale
• All of our sponsors – without these individuals and businesses, none of this would have been possible:
