Talladega Superspeedway’s Jimmy McKee To Be Honored

Press Release — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 19:45:31 +0000

McKee Named ServiceMaster Clean ‘Extra Mile Award’ Winner

ServiceMaster Clean Racing

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (October 28, 2010) – Talladega Superspeedway’s Jimmy McKee has been selected to receive the ServiceMaster Clean “Extra Mile Award”. The presentation will be made Sunday during pre-race ceremonies prior to the running of the AMP Energy Juice 500.

McKee has been a vital part of Talladega Superspeedway for more than 25 years. In 2006, he was named Manager of Emergency Services. Before taking his permanent position at TSS, he served as a firefighter/paramedic for the Gadsden Fire Department, retiring in 2005 after 27 years of service.

“Jimmy has been and remains one of our most valuable employees here at Talladega Superspeedway,” said Grand Lynch, Talladega Superspeedway chairman. “The team he leads goes beyond what normal fire and safety people do at most race tracks. They also continue to be an integral part of our guest services program.”

McKee is an Alabama native. He graduated from Gadsden High School and attended Auburn University and Gadsden State Community College. When he’s not working, he enjoys spending time with his grandchildren and wife, Emiie, of 33 years. He also enjoys riding his Harley and getting in a round of golf when he can find the time.

“Jimmy’s firefighting experience obviously lends itself very well to the role he plays here at TSS,” said Jim Wassell, chief marketing officer for ServiceMaster Clean. “The speedway has been fortunate to have his leadership for more than 25 years now, and I can honestly say that everyone feels safer when Jimmy is in charge. He truly embodies the spirit of the Extra Mile Award and we are honored to recognize his efforts.”

The award recipient can be any member of the track staff that works in a service-oriented position. Track management selects the winner. The 12 previous winners have a combined total of 196 years of service.

ServiceMaster Clean is in its second season as the official sponsor of caution periods at the 19 International Speedway Corp. (ISC) and Speedway Motorsports Inc. (SMI) tracks and Dover International Speedway.

Charlotte Motor Speedway’s Jeff Marshall to be Honored

Press Release — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 23:37:52 +0000

Marshall Named ServiceMaster Clean ‘Extra Mile Award’ Winner

ServiceMaster Clean Racing

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (October 13, 2010) – Charlotte Motor Speedway’s Jeff Marshall, who retired from the military after 20 years of service to his country, has been named the 12^th recipient of the ServiceMaster Clean “Extra Mile Award” this season.

Marshall joined the CMS track operations staff in December 1997 as a mechanic and fabricator. Although he possesses a wide array of skills, he is best known as one of the most talented welders in the area. He uses a specialized technique which incorporates very high temperature and incredible precision. His primary race-day duty is to repair and maintain the integrity of the safer barrier at CMS if damaged by an accident.

“Jeff is one of those rare individuals that combine tremendous skill with an outstanding attitude, said Marcus Smith, president and general manager of Charlotte Motor Speedway. “Very few of our race-day guests know Jeff Marshall, but he is extremely important to putting on a great show.”

Marshall was born and raised in Fresno, Calif. After graduating from high school, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy for a six-year tour of duty. He spent 10 years as a member of the 144^th Fighter Wing of the California Air National Guard before moving to North Carolina where he served in the 145^th Airlift Wing of the North Carolina Air National Guard. He retired from the military as a Tech Sergeant.

“Everyone we’ve spoken to says CMS is a much safer track because of Jeff’s craftsmanship,” said Jim Wassell, chief marketing officer for ServiceMaster Clean. “The speedway has been fortunate to have his expertise for 13 years now, and it’s obvious his military background has had a profound influence on the professional manner in which he handles challenges. Jeff Marshall truly embodies the spirit of the Extra Mile Award and we are honored to recognize his efforts.”

Jeff, and his wife Cindy, live in Mt. Pleasant, N.C. where they own the largest herd of kunekune pigs in North America. He has two sons, Eric, a Charlotte Motor Speedway employee, and Jeffrey, who lives in Reno, Nev.

The award recipient can be any member of the track staff that works in a service-oriented position. Track management personnel select the winner. Marshall will receive special awards and recognition this weekend during Saturday’s pre-race ceremonies at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The 11 previous winners have a combined total of 183 years of service.

ServiceMaster Clean is in its second season as the official sponsor of caution periods at the 19 Speedway Motorsports Inc. (SMI) and International Speedway Corp. (ISC) tracks and Dover International Speedway.

ServiceMaster Clean “Extra Mile Award” to AMS’ Escobar

Press Release — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 20:30:52 +0000

Escobar Is “Cornerstone” Of Operations Department Staff At Atlanta Motor Speedway

ServiceMaster Clean Racing

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (August 31, 2010) – Atlanta Motor Speedway’s Carlos Escobar has been named the seventh recipient of the ServiceMaster Clean “Extra Mile Award” this season.

Escobar, an 18-year member of the AMS Operations Department, is a native of El Salvador. He currently resides in McDonough, Ga., with his wife, Ana, and two daughters, Karla and Billie Jean.

“It feels good and it is exciting (to be honored) after working here almost every day for 18 years,” said Escobar.

His day-to-day activities include everything from track maintenance to assisting with track rentals and facility inspections. His responsibilities intensify as the track prepares for a NASCAR race weekend. He works with NASCAR in preparing the 1.54-mile quad oval for the race. He managed the track clean-up crews during the race and serves as the contact for emergency personnel during an event.

“Carlos has been a loyal, hard working employee at Atlanta Motor Speedway for 18 years, said AMS President and General Manager Ed Clark. “He has a tremendous can-do attitude, never complains and simply gets any job asked of him done in a timely and efficient manner. He is a cornerstone of our Operations Department staff.”

During the summer months at AMS, Escobar prepares the infield and garage area for the weekly summer racing series, Thursday Thunder and Friday Night Drags.

“Carlos plays an invaluable role here in Atlanta, and like past award recipients, he takes his job very seriously,” said Jim Wassell, chief marketing officer for ServiceMaster Clean. “He takes pride in what he does and Atlanta Motor Speedway is very fortunate to have him on its team. Carlos Escobar truly embodies the spirit of the Extra Mile Award and we are honored to recognize his efforts.”

The award recipient can be any member of the track staff that works in a service-oriented position. Track management personnel select the winner. Escobar will receive special awards and recognition this weekend during Sunday’s pre-race ceremonies at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

AMS Director of Operations Dennis Shubert says Escobar is certainly deserving of the ServiceMaster honor. “Carlos has been at Atlanta Motor Speedway one month longer than I have been which makes him the longest serving member of our Operations Department. Over the last 18 years, of anybody you could ask to do something and help out, he’s always the most friendly and willing to get the job done.”

“Carlos is always hard working and always has a smile on his face,” said Dennis Mills, AMS landscape supervisor. “He’s just one of these guys that never complains about anything and you just like to be around.”

And, it always does. I never have to even think about whether something will be done because I just know we can always count on Brooke. She’s a real jewel and we’re proud to have her on our team.”

Hinchey describes the people at Bristol Motor Speedway as being like her family. She says she is “very blessed” to be associated with everyone and she is proud to be a part of the team.
