Jeremiah Weed Event Raises $5,000
For The Air Force Enlisted Village Charity

Seventeen lucky NASCAR fans received a very permanent reminder of their trip to Talladega Superspeedway last weekend, a free tattoo from Jeremiah Weed Flavored Malt Beverages.

NASCAR Championship contender #17 Matt Kenseth, who now sits in second place in the Chase standings, and the flavored malt beverage maker teamed up to offer free permanent tattoos to race fans for a good cause. Fans could choose from a number of designs including Matt’s signature, a No. 17 or a Jeremiah Weed Lightening Lemonade can.

When all was said and done, seventeen (seriously ironic and unplanned) adult fans got tatted up to show their loyalty.

Matt’s spotter Mike Calinoff was one of the seventeen; talk about dedication to the team!


Jeremiah Weed was so inspired by the turnout; they increased their donation to an overall sum of $5,000 to The Air Force Enlisted Village charity, which is committed to providing safe, secure and dignified homes for indigent surviving spouses of retired Air Force personnel. Historically, many members of the Air Force have enjoyed toasting with Jeremiah Weed after returning safely from their missions.

About Air Force Enlisted Village

The Air Force Enlisted Village was founded in 1967 to provide a safe, secure and dignified home for indigent surviving spouses of retired Air Force personnel. The Village’s primary goal and focus is to “Provide a Home,” and financial assistance to these women. The surviving spouse with the greatest need is cared for first and none are refused assistance due to financial status. Low pay and frequent military moves leave some spouses without careers, home equities, retirement plans or any significant assets. Surviving spouses requiring financial assistance live here among peers sharing memories of Air Force life without the stigma normally associated with subsidized housing facilities.

Results at All American Speedway


Starting on the inside of row six, Moses Smith, who drives the No. 16 Hasa Pool Products/NAPA Filters Toyota Camry for Bill McAnally Racing, made his way towards the front of the field of NASCAR K&N Pro Series West cars. By lap 88 of the scheduled 150-lap race, he was in sixth. With twenty-five laps to go, Smith had navigated the Hasa Toyota into the fourth spot. He moved into third with ten laps to go.

A late race caution set the field up for their first attempt at a green-white-checkered finish. As the cars came to the checkered flag, Smith would get turned. He recovered the No. 16 Hasa Toyota to bring home a seventeenth place finish. With one race left of the 2011 West Series season, Smith is third in the championship points.

“The Hasa Toyota was good,” said Smith. “It took a little bit to get going. We were fast on the inside as well as running on the outside groove. The lap down cars held their line which really helped me. It looked like we were going to have a good finish when I got turned coming to the checkered flag. That’s short track racing.”

The three-time NASCAR K&N Pro Series West Most Popular Driver Moses Smith, who added pink to the look of his No. 16 HASA Pool Products/NAPA Filters Toyota, participated in a recent charity event for Breast Cancer Awareness held by his sponsor, White Flyer.

“It was a real honor to carry the colors that represent those that have beat breast cancer and those that are battling this disease. My aunt had breast cancer and it's cool to be able to pay a tribute to her and others who have beat this.”

In Charlotte and Roseville

October 16, 2011 - 2:11pm





DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Pink was a prominent color in the NASCAR garage areas at this weekend with the Touring series joining the overall campaign by NASCAR of “going pink” in recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

On a national level, NASCAR's efforts over the weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway and Las Vegas Motor Speedway aimed to build awareness and raise funds for breast cancer-aimed charitable organizations. Charlotte included several tributes by NASCAR Whelen Souhern Modified Tour teams for their event there, including Andy Seuss, who changed the color of his No. 11 to pink.

The NASCAR K&N Pro Series West Toyota/NAPA Auto Parts 150 at All American Speedway in Roseville, Calif., meanwhile, featured several teams that incorporated the theme into the paint schemes of their cars and officials wearing special pink lanyards.

Moses Smith, who added pink to the look of his No. 16 HASA Pool Products/NAPA Filters Toyota, participated in a recent charity event for Breast Cancer Awareness held by his sponsor, White Flyer.

“It was a real honor to carry the colors that represent those that have beat breast cancer and those that are battling this disease. My aunt had breast cancer and it's cool to be able to pay a tribute to her and others who have beat this.”

An effort by Paul Pedroncelli Jr. involved several fundraisers for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Pedroncelli appeared at different locations to help raise funds by signing autographs and selling T-Shirts and raffle tickets, with all the proceeds going to the NBCF. He also displayed his No. 0 Lee’s Auto Body Chevrolet, painted with a special pink paint scheme, at the fundraisers.

The No. 59 Beat Cancer/MTFX Graphics Chevrolet of Jason Fensler also featured a special campaign at Roseville, with a tribute to beating cancer. The Team Cass Racing Chevrolet featured the awareness ribbons of several different types of cancer.
