Well after 2 back to back weeks at Marshalltown we are back to the racing action on Friday night for Haverhill Social Club and Vis Racing Night at the Races.
But the real big thing is that a racing team is lending a hand to a family that lost their home to a fire last month.
Local dirt track stock car driver Michael Jaennette from Newton is asking for help. Jaennette gained a new No. 1 fan, 6 year-old Dawn Anderson from Garwin. Little did Jaennette know that Dawn and her father Ray Anderson had recently lost their everything in a house fire just a few weeks ago on March 20th.
So for a little R&R, Dawn suggested to her dad that they go to the races in Marshalltown.
So this Friday Jaennette will be "Racing for Dawn."
In conjunction with the Marshalltown Speedway, Jaennette Racing will be accepting donations Friday beginning at 6 p.m. before the green flag. The team will set up their 42-foot race trailer in the pits at the speedway to donations of gift cards, clothes, toiletries, dishes, furniture or anything.
Also Thanks to Vis Racing who has the VIP Tower for the night, they have decided to give Ray, Dawn and one other person they would like to bring along some Passes to the races and sit in the wonderful VIP Tower.
If you have anything to donate please contact Kristin Carley at 641-521-7822 or Kristen Jaennette at 641-521-2675.
Pit Gates Open at 5:15p, Grandstands Open at 5:30p, Hot Laps at 6:45p, Racing at 7:30p......This is what makes me so proud to be a reporter and this year the co-writer for the Marshalltown Speedway, Racers helping families in need so be there on Friday Night to help as well.
Until Next Time,
Jeremy
