CARQUEST CHAMPIONS FOR CHARITIES DRIVER SPOTLIGHT: RUSS WOOD
(Stafford Springs, CT)—The CARQUEST Extreme Tuesday Champions for
Charities Event at Stafford Motor Speedway scheduled for June 28th is
building in momentum and excitement as the drivers gear up to raise funds
for their respective charities. The impressive field of open wheeled
division champion drivers represents over 50 championships among 14 drivers.
This week’s spotlight is on Russ Wood, the 7-time ISMA Supermodified
Champion, and he will be racing to raise funds for Racing Against Cancer.
“I developed a relationship with Racing Against Cancer when my kids were
racing at Sugar Hill,” said Wood. “My kids did some fundraising for Racing
Against Cancer and they raised 2 or 3 thousand dollars a year for three
years. Over the years we’ve lost some close friends to cancer and Racing
Against Cancer is a great organization to be associated with. Cancer
research has been making some gains, but there is still a long way to go and
it will be nice to able to help contribute towards finding a cure for
cancer.” (more…)
