Mooresville, NC (April 23, 2014) – TriStar Motorsports is proud to announce that the K-LOVE Crisis Response Training logo will adorn the hood of the No. 44 Toyota Camry piloted by Blake Koch this weekend at Richmond International Raceway.
The K-LOVE Crisis Response Training program is about impacting the community through Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) training and by helping create a network of first responders within the community that will be on hand during disasters or times of need.
“For over 15 years MRO and our team of chaplains have seen and experienced the value and importance of this type of training in helping people deal with trauma of all types,” exclaimed the Motor Racing Outreach President and CEO, Billy Mauldin. “We highly recommend those interested to take advantage of this opportunity presented by K-LOVE to better equip yourself to help others in need. I am extremely excited to see a driver like Blake Koch representing this cause this weekend at Richmond.”
From unexpected moments at the track, to events around 9/11 that stunned and shocked our nation, Crisis Response Training, such as being offered by K-Love and utilized by MRO, has equipped our staff and others to help those in need most effectively at any time.
This will mark Koch’s sixth start at Richmond International Raceway and his first RIR start behind the wheel of the No. 44 TriStar Motorsports Camry. Koch has a strong relationship with the Motor Racing Outreach (MRO) program and is excited to represent the K-LOVE Crisis Response Training this weekend in Richmond.
“This is such an awesome program and I am really proud to represent them this weekend with their logo on my No. 44 Toyota Camry,” exclaimed Blake Koch, driver of the No. 44 Toyota Camry. “So many people are dealing with so many things and I strongly encourage you to join this program to help learn how to effectively help someone who is dealing with a crisis.”
