Press Release
Instead of a charity this week, MAKE Motorsports is honoring Emergency Medical Services Week. It runs from May 15-22. The #50 truck will have decal in honor of EMS week and in memory of those who have lost their lives in the last year serving in Emergency Medical Services profession. The team has close ties to this community with several members who have or currently serve in this capacity, to include co-owner Tracy Lowe (EMT-P) and her husband Bradley Lowe. The pit board will bear the names of the individuals who have lost their lives serving in the last year. It is an honor for us to bring awareness to a profession that is often over looked but we could not live without. For more information about EMS Week, visit http://bit.ly/9jVVuq.

Giving Back to MAKE Good
MAKE Motorsports owners Mark and Sharon Beaver auctioned a set of tickets to the NC Lottery 200 for Charity earlier this week in honor of the races. The tickets were won by Gage Freeman, a Fourth grader from Shelby (the MAKE Motorsports’ owners’ home town) who suffers from multiple medical conditions. TJ Bell came to the shop today to meet Gage and his family. It was a great time for all involved. That is what our team is about…giving back to the community.
Chassis Info:

We have spent a lot of time making improvements to the No. 50 truck, including changing manufacturers and engine programs.
