Jerry Maxson, representing the firefighters in a check presentation, a part of the funds raised to assist Kaleigh.
The 2nd Annual Charity Truckers 200 presented by Biscayne Roofing, that ran last weekend at Orlando Speedworld, has raised $12,374.00 for Kaleigh, Bob and Misty Helmick, according to event organizer Rick Bristol.
Racers from around the state in several different divisions or forms of racing came together to raise money for this family with many great sponsors helping to make it possible. Weather put a little twist into the event, leading to some delays and cutting short the program. But as Bristol pointed out, he crews, drivers, officials and fans fought through it to accomplish the mission.
"I really am just beside myself as to the overwhelming support, that the racers, official, crews and fans showed for this event. Bristol said after the event. "It really is becoming a huge deal, and that is what I prayed for since the inception of the first one." stated Promoter Rick Bristol.
The fans turned out even with the overcast weather. When the rains did come, interupting the on track autograph session, fans spent the time makign new aqauintences, enjoying the Sprint Car Simulators and the display of Daytona Antique Auto Racers cars.
"So many folks showed so much support, when I was stressing they just said it will be ok, Rick. I know for many, things did not go well, but for the most part everyone showed great professionalism and handled things well." Stated Bristol.
There were some parts of the well planned program that were not able to happen due to the rain.
Bristol explained, "I really apologize to the folks that were left without the opening ceremonies and the proper thank you's. I really wanted to get to thank them all for what they did. I have tried to convey that message after the event and through e-mails and posts, I am so very grateful and appreciative to all of them and words alone do not do justice to the way they have touched my heart and the heart of the Helmick's and the Hopkins families. There were also some things left out of the program and I promise that will be fixed next year. I had folks donate money to both families. We have collected $987.00 for the Hopkins family as well, because of some awesome people. I will round it up and be sending them $1,000 for a nice Christmas".
 The wheels arre already spinning for the 3rd addition of the Charity Trtuckers 200 for 2008 and some changes and surprises will begin being announced hopefully by the end of January. Last year $6,584.00 was raised for the Hopkins Family, this year $12,374.00 for the Helmick's and $1000.00 for the Hopkins.
Bristol said, "In two events just short of $20,000 has been raised and race drivers, crews, officials and fans should be proud to be able to help those in need, you have done well, and are to be thanked."
Bristol imparted a special Holiday message for the fans, drivers and others who supporteed the event this year: "I again say thanks to all from the bottom of my heart, I pray God Blesses everyone that had a part in this, and I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May 2008 be a great year for all. I am praying God gives the Helmick's a miracle for Kaleigh. I am so grateful for what he has done for Tommy, I serve a great God" !
Be watching for details of the 3rd Annual Charity Truckers 200, and what family will be assisted in 2008.
Thanks again to all who helped Rick Bristol and to all who helped the Helmick's. More information is available at the C.A.R.S. Racer Marketing website .

Several of you have stepped up to help already and for that I say thank you so much. For those who have pledged for laps, awards or sponsorships I am trying to begin collection of that money now.
So if you can please mail that in to C.A.R.S. Motorsports & Racer Marketing - 812 Romano Ave Orlando FL 32807 that would help tremendously. If you do not remember what you did just call me.
For many of the rest that will receive this e-mail, I want to ask you to please consider what you can do to help. We need to sell many laps still $20.00 each ( $10 directly to Helmick family/ $10 for leader of the said lap ). I still have room for $100 awards and/or bonuses for finishing positions.
I still need sponsors for a couple of divisions Legends $1000, Antiques $500, Mini-Cups $500 and Champ Karts $500. You can become a Gold ($500) Silver ($300) or Bronze ($150) sponsor those packets include different size ads in the program and qty packets of tickets to the event and PA mentions. If you can give prizes for raffles, certificates for the different divisions as prizes, what ever, we can use it.

If you can get/donate any autographed Nascar items for a celebrity auction that would be great, please just contact me.
I really need help getting the word out about the event, we will not spend money on advertising as it is just so expensive, I think we can all make it a great event, and pack the place if we will just tell others around us. I have flyers, posters and some free tickets to use to attract people if you can help post them, or pass them out please see me. If you can come help me on a planned Saturday cover the Orlando area please let me know. If you have given or you have volunteered or will give I just ask you to pray and consider if you can do more, help more, give more to help this little girl and her family. I really want to be a blessing to them but also want this thing to grow so we can help more each year.
Tommy Hopkins and his family whom we helped last year will be attending to give us an update on Tommy ( which is really good news ) so we can see them again. I am attaching the copy of the poster that we have right now, so you can see. Look at little Kaleigh's face, can you help her and her family. Please pray as she will be going in Nov. 2nd for her 6th Heart Cath, to check on the progress of her disease, to see how her heart is doing.
She really needs our prayers. And I know that the Helmicks do too ! If you have any ideas or anything to help us please do not hesitate to call me. I will be contacting any that sponsored laps, awards etc. last year and others who did other things to see if you can help again. Please just think about it and let me know.

Need people to contact area radio, TV and print media and try to get some coverage. These things take active people that are bold and go getters but it is a big need. I need a committee to help plan opening ceremonies, VIP area and Post event celebrations. I need workers to help run the two day show in several areas. I will be contacting certain people from last year top be sure if they want to help again, but we still need relief people etc" remarked Bristol
" We want this thing to be bigger and better than last year and to continue to grow it. I need some help trying to get Nascar drivers to attend, donate etc. I need sponsors to help cover the costs of the event so we can help this precious little girl and her mom and dad. I need someone to call other tracks to see if they will promote with PA spots and posters at there track up until the event, and maybe do a collection night to presented from there track at the opening ceremonies of the event. There are many ideas and needs to fill. I just need people who will take ownership of there part an be sure it gets the attention that I can not give all these things. If you can help please call and please come if you can". he asked.
You can call Rick Bristol at 407-497-0448 anytime or e-mail him at rbmini68@aol.com. If you want to see more information on the event and what it is about go to www.carsracermarketing.com.
" I have so many great friends and folks that helped with my go-karts events of 14 years and with last years 1st Annual Truckers 200 that I want to again say thanks to, it is such an honor for me to be able to have your support and friendships. Lets make this years the best yet. If you have not helped before but want to feel the wonderful joy that comes from this then come to the meeting or call, I promise you will feel so much satisfaction in helping others.

Travel is something that everyone does especially race teams and their families. By starting your own Travel web site you can book your own personal travel as well as having your family and friends book all their racing and personal vacation travel through you. Once you are ready to start we can have your personalized web site up and running in as little as 15 minutes, it is a great opportunity".

Gary plans to race with us this year as well and he is one of the real tough runners in Florida Truck racing. Please call him for any of your travel needs or if you want to become your own agent, I may just do that myself" stated Charity Truckers 200 promoter Rick Bristol.
