Knoxville Raceway joins Team Alyssa
Knoxville Raceway and Bronson Maeschen are just two of the supporters of an upcoming benefit for an 8-year-old Pleasantville girl who is recovering from brain tumor surgery. Alyssa Scheve found out last weekend that one of her hometown sprint car racers was racing in her honor. Bronson Maeschen has Team Alyssa decals on his wings to show his support for Alyssa during her long road to recovery.
“I’ve never met the girl but I can’t imagine what her family has been through over the last month, he says. “It’s pretty cool to see the whole town come together to help this family.” Alyssa and her big brother even spotted the #96 car at the car wash after last weekend’s race.
The Pleasantville community is organizing a benefit for Alyssa to be held July 4th in Pleasantville, Iowa. The benefit is being held to help alleviate some of the stress during this trying time. Included in the silent auction are Knoxville Raceway tickets for the 360 and 410 Nationals as well as Late Models. Bronson Maeschen donated a side panel of a wing from a nasty wreck in Burlington earlier this month during the Outlaw race.
