Tråd: Mazda Racing Hold til at Støtte Japan Jordskælvet og Tsunamien hjælpearbejdet

Tre racing teams under den MAZDASPEED Motorsport udvikling banner vil arbejde for at rejse midler til den amerikanske Røde Kors Japan jordskælv og Pacific Tsunami Relief Fund i løbet af denne weekend Grand-Am race på Barber Motorsports Park i Birmingham, Alabama. Marts 11 jordskælvet og flodbølgen, der hærgede store dele af nordøstlige Japan har omsider count, hævdede op mod 12.000 liv-med mere end fordoble dette tal stadig opført som mangler.

Dens været blot tre uger siden tragedien i Japan og allerede nyhedsopdateringer begyndt at udtynde, mens befolkningen i Japan stadig har brug for så meget hjælp, sagde Joe Foster af Dempsey Racing, et af holdene, der deltager i hjælpearbejdet. Vi håber på at generere en anden runde af donationer til Røde Kors denne weekend ved at holde Japan top-of-mind med både racing samfund og vores fans.

Dempsey Racing, SpeedSource og Team Sahlen vil bære særlige grafik på deres Mazda RX-8 racerbiler, fremme fans til at støtte ofrene for jordskælvet og tsunamien ved at sms'e en $10 donation til REDCROSS til 90999. Racing samfund er en rigtig familie og du føler især der i vanskelige tider som disse, sagde John Doonan, Mazdas Manager Motor Sports Team udvikling.

Three racing teams under the MAZDASPEED Motorsports Development banner will work to raise funds for the American Red Cross Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami Relief Fund during this weekends Grand-Am race at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama. The March 11 earthquake and tsunami that devastated large swathes of northeastern Japan has, at last count, claimed upwards of 12,000 lives – with more than double that figure still listed as missing.

Its been just three weeks since the tragedy in Japan and already news updates have begun thinning out, while the people of Japan still need so much help, said Joe Foster of Dempsey Racing, one of the teams participating in the relief effort. We are hoping to generate a second round of donations to the Red Cross this weekend by keeping Japan top-of-mind with both the racing community and our fans.

Dempsey Racing, SpeedSource and Team Sahlen will carry special graphics on their Mazda RX-8 racecars, encouraging fans to support victims of earthquake and tsunami by texting a $10 donation to REDCROSS at 90999. The racing community is a real family and you especially feel that in difficult times like this, said John Doonan, Mazdas Manager of Motor Sports Team Development.
