I SURVIVED THE CRAB FEAST 2009 SCV RACE CAR PLACES 3 RD!

Brandon is one of the top drivers in the USAR Pro Series circuit. The race was filmed and is scheduled to be telecast on Fox Sports Network on Sunday, August 23, 2009.

As rough as the negotiations were over the past six months, the efforts can be called a success. The race was not the only part of the SCV race car equation.

6 I SURVIVED THE CRAB FEAST 2009 SCV RACE CAR PLACES 3 RD!!!! Saturday, July 25th, 2009, in Hickory, North Carolina, the SCV race car was driven by Brandon Ward of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Brandon is one of the top drivers in the USAR Pro Series circuit. The race was filmed and is scheduled to be telecast on Fox Sports Network on Sunday, August 23, When Brandon Ward was introduced to the crowd and the SCV was announced as his sponsor, the crowd cheered and cheered louder than they did for anyone else. As rough as the negotiations were over the past six months, the efforts can be called a success. The race was not the only part of the SCV race car equation. Part of the deal was to have a show car on display at the reunion on Hot Springs. This also was a reality. Our original driver and fellow compatriot, James Hylton sent his NASCAR truck series truck. The truck sported our logo on the hood, the back quarter panels and the bed. It also had the website address along the sides and MY-DIXIE across the back. Unfortunately, at the last minute, the art department was under the impression that the truck was black. The truck was in fact yellow and the lettering was white. But one of the ladies of the reunion staff quickly remedied the situation with a black marker. James Hylton has generously offered this truck to the SCV as a permanent show car.
