Carl Edwards to Compete in Whelen Modified Tour at NHIS

    You’ve heard of NEXTEL Cup drivers becoming “Buschwackers” by racing in the Busch Series…well how about “Whelenwackers”. NEXTEL Cup and Busch Series racing star Carl Edwards has decided to join Tony Stewart by driving a Ford Mustang Whelen Modified in The New England 100 at New Hampshire International Speedway on July 15th.
    Like Tony, Carl will be driving for a great cause by teaming with championship Whelen Modified car owner, Don Barker and the builder of USA Bobsleds, Bob Cuneo to raise funds for the USA Bobsled effort. Carl realizes that the USA Bobsled team needs proper funding for research and Bo-Dyn bobsleds to insure they can effectively compete and this effort offers a great platform to drive exposure and raise donations for the Bo-Dyn Bobsled Project, Inc.
    "We are grateful to Carl, Don and Bob for their generous offer to support the efforts of the Bo-Dyn Bobsled Project” said the non-profit corporation’s President, Phil Kurze. “The bobsleds used by the USA Bobsled Team are designed and manufactured in the USA, with donations received from corporations and citizens. We appreciate all of the exposure and support we can get.”
    “I couldn’t pass this opportunity up,” Carl said. “Not only will I be helping the USA Bobsled Team, but I’ll get a chance to drive a fast little Ford Mustang Modified against Tony and all of the Whelen regulars”.
    This one race fund-raiser features a silent auction for fans to bid on panels from the race car signed by Carl, an authentic Brunnhoelzl Racing jack painted in USA Bobsled Team colors and much more. There will also be a limited edition, collector tee shirt and poster for sale at the track on race day.
    For more information please contact Don Barker at 203-264-4016
