Press Release: Lori Howard Fan Benefit

from Chad Adams:

We are going to have a special night, for a great race fan from the sprint car capital of the world (Knoxville Raceway).

Lori was diagnosed with cancer during the 2005 racing season. After many treatments, times have been tough for Lori and her family. Since knowing Lori, she has always looked up to me a sprint car fan and all my memories. Well I want to use my knowledge of 26 years of racing to see what a great fundraiser that the whole racing community can give her.

I want to let drivers and teams, you are welcome to see the race fans. We would like you to attend and sign autographs. Many of the race fans in Iowa are really eager for the racing season to start.
