10.5.12 — Help our friends at Virginia Tech Baseball fight childhood cancer!

Posted:

Virginia Tech head baseball coach, Pete Hughes, is a friend of AB Motorsports.  He instills in his team the importance of giving back, and each year the Hokie baseball players shave their heads to support and raise money for the St. Baldrick’s Childhood Cancer Foundation.

Between now and next Monday (10/8/12), we would LOVE Annabeth fans to contribute to this good cause.  You don’t have to shave your head (!), but you can donate by clicking this link: http://www.stbaldricks.org/events/mypage/9105/2012  , then click the “Make A Donation” button, and follow the prompts.  If you want to, you can put “Your Name + ABM” in the Recognition Information box, to let them know we are supporting them.

No donation is too small.  As Coach Hughes tells his players, “To whom much is given, much is expected.”  We are all truly blessed.  To our almost 6,000 facebook fans, thank you for considering donating to this wonderful organization.

8.18.12 — Racing TODAY! Hickory Motor Speedway (Hickory, NC).

Posted:

Hey everybody!  I’m going to be racing tonight at Hickory Motor Speedway!  We’ll be running in the 35 lap limited late model race.  We qualify around 5pm, there’s a fan meet-and-greet around 6pm, and racing starts at 7pm.  The Limited race we will be in is the 3rd race of the night.

The car was beat up bad, but my dad has been working like crazy to get her back in top shape. We’re feeling good. As always, great thanks to all my sponsors, especially Liberty Buick GMC and Oz’s Jewelers.  And of course, thanks to my dad and mom.

Check out the track’s website at http://www.hickorymotorspeedway.com . We are looking forward to going back to Hickory.  Hope to see you out there!
