MAKE Motorsports Plans Return to the Track at Charlotte
Press Release“Team Will Make Two Special Visits First, Promote Levine Children’s Hospital”
Looking to raise awareness for the Children’s Miracle Network (CMN), the team will make two different appearances the week leading into the races at Charlotte. First, on Tuesday, May 17, team driver T.J. Bell will visit and sign autographs at the Levine Children’s Hospital, which is a part of the CMN. MAKE Motorsports will then have driver T.J. Bell and an ambulance from the Carolina’s Medical Center at the Concord, N.C. Wal-Mart on Thursday, May 19 to help promote their efforts to raise awareness and funds for the CMN. Bell will be signing autographs for all race fans at this location.
Team co-owners Mike Beaver and Tracy Lowe are passionate about teaming with the CMN, an effort especially close to Lowe who also works as a Team Leader of the MedCenter Air at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte.
“Working at the Carolinas Medical Center, I see the benefits of the Children’s Miracle Network every day at the Levine Children’s Hospital located here,” said Lowe. “Also, working in the EMS field, I have also seen first-hand what the funds raised by CMN have done to greatly improve the health and saves lives of children that come through our path in times of emergencies. This is just something small that we can do to give back.”
The team will also continue to raise awareness during the race weekend by placing the Children’s Miracle Network and the Levine Children’s Hospital logos on the quarter panels of the No. 50 race truck.
“It’s important for us to keep our local communities in mind when we race,” said co-owner Mark Beaver. “And for us to give something back here in Charlotte is great. This is where we call home and the Children’s Miracle Network and Levine Children’s Hospital do great things for our youth in the area. We’re grateful for Pinnacle Rubber Mulch and Liberty Tire Recycling for donating some space on the truck to promote this campaign.”
The team has also partnered with the Ronald McDonald House in Nashville, Tenn. in the past proving they are a team that believes in giving back off the track.

About Levine Children’s Hospital
Levine Children’s Hospital is a 234-bed hospital in Charlotte, North Carolina, located on the main campus of Carolinas Medical Center. Since opening in December 2007, the hospital has grown to include more than 30 pediatric specialties and has already received national distinction by U.S. News & World Report as one of “America’s Best Children’s Hospitals” for treatment of kidney disorders.
Levine Children’s Hospital is also home to the Ricky Hendrick Centers for Intensive Care, which support pediatric intensive and cardiovascular surgery patients. Additional distinctions include organ and bone marrow transplants; pediatric dialysis; interventional cardiology and cardiac surgery; heart-lung bypass capabilities for newborns and pediatric patients; an inpatient pediatric rehabilitation unit; and 24/7 emergency services. Levine Children’s Hospital is the most comprehensive facility of its type between Atlanta, GA and Washington, DC – meaning most children no longer need to travel outside of the region to receive the care they need.
Most recently, Levine Children’s Hospital announced the formation of the Carolinas Kids Cancer Research Coalition, a group of eight of the region’s most dedicated nonprofit organizations committed to supporting pediatric cancer research and services at Levine Children’s Hospital.
