Absaroka / Sparks Energy Partner With Jeffrey Earnhardt At Talladega

Absaroka / Sparks Energy Partner With Jeffrey Earnhardt At Talladega

Gaffney, SC -

This Saturday afternoon the high banks of Talladega Super Speedway will come alive with the roar of the Xfinity Series cars during the Sparks 300.  Piloting the Absaroka number 0 Chevrolet by JD Motorsports with Gary Keller will be 4th generation Earnhardt racer Jeffrey Earnhardt.  “Every time I come to Dega I think of the great history of my grandpa here and the passion my family has for super speedway racing” commented Jeffrey.  “Having a new partner onboard like Absaroka and Sparks is really special.  They’re from Alabama and they’re big supporters of our sport so having the opportunity to begin a relationship with people that love NASCAR and my family legacy is a blessing.”  Before the cars get the green flag on Saturday Jeffrey will be joining the Absaroka & Sparks team for a Friday night rodeo inside the infield.  “I’ve been told by my JEI guys not to get on a bull but I’m not ruling it out entirely until I see the action Friday” said Earnhardt.   

Absaroka Western Store & Sparks Energy CEO Magen Sparks is looking forward to having an Earnhardt in their car for race weekend.  “We are thrilled to partner with Jeffrey Earnhardt for the Sparks 300 this Saturday and the Lightning Livestock rodeo Friday night at Talladega” said Magen.  “Absaroka Western Store, Sparks Energy and Lightning Livestock are dedicated to the success of hard working Americans and we are excited to have a 4th generation Earnhardt driver representing our brands at Dega.  Lets go!” 

Earnhardt’s car design was inspired by the Absaroka country lifestyle and the hard work and dedication of the Sparks Energy employees.  “When I saw the car I thought man, this totally tells a story” said Jeffrey.  “Their brands have the clothing I wear, the entertainment I enjoy with the rodeo and that Wichita lineman feeling of the men & women that work their butts off to keep our energy running with Sparks.  There’s also some special messaging on the car to honor one of their people and it’s just a car that really resonates with me.  I can’t wait to get her rolling.” 

Race time is 4:30pm on Saturday, October 2nd with live coverage on NBCSN and SiriusXM channel 90.

Remembering United Airlines Flight 93 – JD Motorsports VP One Of The First On Scene

Remembering United Airlines Flight 93 – JD Motorsports VP One Of The First On Scene

GAFFNEY, SC –

“A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” – Christopher Reeve

The word “heroic” probably the first thing that comes to mind when we remember September 11th, 2001. However, it was that very day that 40 ordinary citizens stood up and directly looked evil in the face. These brave men and women defied the odds to save innocent American lives on the ground, even if it meant giving up their own.

United Airlines Flight 93, a Boeing 757-222 aircraft, departed from Newark International Airport at 8:43 AM on a routine flight to San Francisco, California. It would be the last time those on-board would ever feel that things were normal. At 9:28 AM, four (4) hijackers would gain control of the aircraft and attempt to fly it into a selected target. Speculation for which target it was to fly into is unclear, but it could be presumed to be the White House or the Capitol building.

The very thing that the hijackers couldn’t account for is the American spirit. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. At 9:57 AM, the passengers of United Airlines Flight 93 showed their resolve and began to revolt. After many long minutes of struggling and violent movement from the aircraft, Flight 93 crashed into an empty field near Shanksville, PA.

It was that very moment that our VP of Sales and Marketing, Tony Priscaro, who was a few miles away with his former band, Gashouse, rushed over to the scene. 

“I'm happy to honor the Flight 93 passengers and their heroic attemp to save flight 93.  I personally witnessed the plane fly overhead and eventually crash.  That traumatic experience is embedded in my mind forever.  I was one of the first persons to arrive on the scene, even before any fire and rescue authorities.  I will never forget what I seen.  It was definitely not the scene of a plane crash but just a giant crater.  I spent the entire day at the scene doing anything I could do to help.  I'm happy ForeverLawn decided to create a special paint scheme to honor the 20th anniversary of 9/11.” – Tony Priscaro, VP of Sales and Marketing

This weekend at Richmond International Raceway the No. 0 Chevrolet will run a special 9/11 Tribute paint scheme honoring all the American’s we lost during the terror attack.
