Operation: Home Front
Racing for our Heroes' families.
MHE2 MOTORSPORTS SUPPORTS MILITARY FAMILIES WITH UNIQUE PROGRAM
FRANKLIN, Tenn., April 2, 2003 – MHE2 Motorsports proudly announces
its
partnership with 103 WKDF, the leading country music station in
Middle
Tennessee, in supporting the United States’ military through
Operation: Home
Front. Driver Bill Christie will carry the Operation: Home
Front markings on
the MHE2 Motorsports’ SuperTruck Series Ford throughout the
2003 Nashville
Fairgrounds’ Speedway season. The proceeds generated through
donations,
t-shirt sales and the auction of the hood from the #103 Operation:
Home
Front/ MHE2 Motorsports Ford F-150’s will go to support the Family
Readiness
Group (FRG) at Fort Campbell and Arnold Air Force Base. The FRG
maintains
constant ties with the families of soldiers fighting in Iraq and
Afghanistan
to offer aid and support during these difficult times of long,
overseas
deployment.
“We are excited to be affiliated with 103 WKDF and Operation: Home
Front,”
offered Mark Hyjek, owner of MHE2 Motorsports from the team’s
Franklin race
shop. ”This is just one of many ways 103 WKDF helps support our
people,
communities and our country. We, as a team, feel privileged to be
able to
help the families of the soldiers who are risking their lives for us
back
home. This is the least we can do.”
“It’s important that we all do what we can to show our support to
our
troops,” commented Shelbyville’s Christie. “The men and women of the
armed
forces are over their protecting our families. The least we can do is
help
their families until they get back home. I’m very proud and excited to
be a
part of Operation: Home Front with WKDF. This is a great way to do what
I
love and thank the troops for giving me a chance to do it.”
Franklin-area businessman Mark Hyjek founded MHE2 Motorsports in 2000.
The
team tasted its first success dominating the 2001 Baby Grand Stock
Car
Association (BGSCA) road course championship at Nashville Superspeedway.
In
2002, MHE2 stepped-up to the NASCAR Weekly Racing SuperTruck Series
at
Fairgrounds Speedway, Nashville. The effort, with Christie behind the
wheel
and Hyjek as team manager, again impressed all by winning a race,
finishing
in the top-10 of the season-long points championship and earning
the series’
“Most Improved Team” Award. MHE2 Motorsports is currently working
to
finalize support to compete in selected 2003 races and the full 2004
season
of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. MHE2 has a long history of
giving back
to the community beyond Operation: Home Front including
partnership with the
Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and other conservation
groups.
