UNOH - NASCAR RACE TEAMS TO
VISIT CAMPUS MAY 18TH
THE PUBLIC IS INVITED TO SEE THE CARS &
MEET THE DRIVERS |
Tuesday, May 18, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.,
two UNOH sponsored NASCAR race teams will be on the University
of Northwestern Ohio’s campus at the High Performance
Motorsports 600 Building on Hartzler Road with their team
haulers and race cars for students to view the cars, get driver
autographs and photo opportunities.
Todd Szegedy, driver of the # 2 UNOH – Wisk – Snuggles, NASCAR
Whelen Modified, and Eddie MacDonald, driver of the #71 UNOH –
Grimm Racing, NASCAR, K & N Pro Series Chevrolet, will be
available for all UNOH employees, students and the public.
Todd Szegedy will be competing in the “UNOH Perfect Storm 150”
at Bristol Motor Speedway on August 18th of this year as well as
at Martinsville Speedway on June 6th in the “Whelen All American
150”. Szegedy is no stranger to UNOH. The 2003 NASCAR Whelen
Modified National Champion piloted the #2 UNOH modified last
year at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and at Bristol Motor
Speedway for the inaugural “UNOH Perfect Storm 150”.
Eddie MacDonald will be wheeling
the #71 UNOH, NASCAR K & N Pro Series Chevrolet in the Inaugural
“UNOH Performance 200” at Martinsville on June 6th.
While new to the UNOH motorsports family, MacDonald is not a
stranger to success on the race track. He finished the 2009
Camping World Series East campaign in 2nd place just 34 points
behind Champion Ryan Truex.
Eight UNOH Motorsports Team members, Kody Weisner, Ben Bowers,
Cody Bland, Andy Mattord, Chris Puskas, Brandon Ziehl, Kevin
Bradshaw and Sam Thomas, will be participating on the pit crews
for both of these race teams in the NASCAR K & N Pro Series and
Whelen Modified Series events.
Also on hand will be the actual pace car from Martinsville
Speedway along with marketing representatives from both Bristol
and Martinsville tracks with handouts for the staff and
students.
Last but not least, a NASCAR PR representative will be on hand
to answer questions for students, staff and the public about the
series and NASCAR in general.
The best time for media to do interviews and get video and
pictures is around 11 AM.
