WHERE WERE YOU 10 YEARS AGO…when the tragic events of 9/11 took place?
Upcoming NASCAR Nationwide series driver, Fain Skinner was just 16 years old sitting in math class. Unfortunately, his teacher did not realize the importance of the moment. The class was not allowed to tune into the event as it unfolded. As he exited math class, Skinner began to hear exactly what was happening and became fearful as to what would happen next. It was not until 2003 that Skinner felt the realities of 9/11 when he saw his best friend, and now brother-in-law, leave for Iraq. Until his best friend’s safe return, each day was a constant reminder of the repercussions of that tragic day.
On this 10 year observance of 9/11, #39/Go Green Racing, Skinner, CarportEmpire.com and the NASCAR Foundation Unites challenges each fan, team member, driver, and owner to unite together. The challenge; to pay tribute by pledging to perform good deeds, support charitable causes, and volunteer in honor of the 9/11 victims, survivors and those who served in response to the attacks. “It is a great time to participate in volunteering in your community. It is not about doing everything but doing something,” said Skinner. One suggestion from NASCAR Foundation Unites is to send a postcard to a First Responder. You can go to www.nascar.com/unites and send a virtual postcard to a First Responder as a good deed. The goal is for 10,000 postcards to be sent. President of CarportEmpire.com, Kevin Keen will log on and wants to encourage others to do the same. “At CarportEmpire.com, our mission is to serve our customers. This weekend we have the opportunity to honor those that have served our country by taking that literally out to the communities. There are so many great projects and charities that the NASCAR Foundation represents. It is a time to get involved,” encouraged Keen.
TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS AT THE TRACK: The Virginia 529 College Savings 250 at Richmond International Speedway will be Skinner’s third NASCAR event. As Skinner undergoes NASCAR’S approval process, he is met with many challenges. His first event was with the #41/Rick Ware Racing at Lucas Oil Raceway where he finished 26th. In his second event, he met the challenges of Bristol Motor Speedway with a 30th place finish without a race scratch on the car. This week, Skinner looks forward to competing on the ¾ mile D-shaped oval under the lights and bring home a strong finish for the #04/Go Green Racing team.
