Grimm Racing Is More than Just Winning |
Racing may be about winning
but it also has plenty of room for support and compassion for people
and causes and this is what Grimm Racing is all about. If anyone has
any doubt about the validity of the statement, all they have to do
is to look at the vinyl covering the car. The MS, New Path
Adventures, Boston Strong logos, and the Eric Williams emblem are
displayed on every Grimm car.
Recently Megan Spaulding, the
daughter of Carla and Rob Grimm, was diagnosed with Multiple
Sclerosis. In an effort to support MS Awareness Week, the #71
carried the logo for the first race on the rear quarter panels at
Bristol. Rob Grimm decided the MS banner would be permanently
displayed on the car for the entire season. The family and members
of Grimm Nation will participate as the “MS Warriors” in the May 5
MS Walk at Pocono Speedway. (http://walkpae.nationalmssociety.org)
The Grimm family was deeply moved by the horrific events on
Marathon Monday in Boston and the decision was easily reached to
display the “Boston Strong” ribbon on the car. Eddie MacDonald and
many of the team members call the Boston area home and felt the need
to support those killed, injured, and their families was something
Grimm Racing does for all those in need.

Rob Grimm decided that “New Path Adventures” logo would be
displayed on the back of the car for the season. New Path Adventures
is based in Dallas, Texas and ministers to troubled youths ages
13-19. Crew member Steven Owens, nephew of Rob Grimm, is proud to
say his brother Jonathan Owens and Alan Owens offer guidance and a
positive change in the choices these youngsters make in their daily
lives. The Spanish to English Ministry recently completed a very
successful bike ride across the state of Texas, an 865 mile journey,
to raise money. Alan and Jonathan work with a group of 7-10
youngsters by taking them from their environment and harmful
behavior, minister to them while living out of backpacks in the
wilds of Texas.
NewPathAdventures.org is a good source for information.
On February 25, 2013 Corrections Officer Eric Williams was murdered
in the line of duty at the U.S Penitentiary located in Canaan, Pa.
that is within sight of the Grimm Racing shop in Waymart, Pa. In
order to honor Officer Williams and those men and women that serve,
every Grimm car will display the emblem for the remainder of the
season. (www.facebook.comCorrectionalPeaceOfficersFoundation)
Being a member of Grimm Nation is much more than supporting the
#71 on the track. It means a commitment to show support for those in
need. |
