The No. 21 State Fair Corn Dogs/Edy's Grand Ford F-150, driven by Bobby East, will be teaming up with the Greg Biffle Foundation during this weekend's Kroger 200 at Martinsville Speedway, and it's all for a great cause. As a company, the Wood Brothers/JTG Race Team, like the Greg Biffle Foundation, hold the efforts of Animal Rescue close to their hearts. Co-Team Owners Tad & Jodi Geschickter of WBJTG have been heavily involved with animal rescue and welfare for many years.
The Wood Brothers/JTG No. 21 truck will carry sponsorship on the hood and TV panel promoting their support for a Greg Biffle Foundation charity raffle, "Win Biffle's Bike". The charity raffle will benefit the Greg Biffle Foundation, which sponsors many pet-related causes such as the Animal Adoption League (AAL), local humane societies, no-kill animal shelters and spay/neuter clinics.
Here's how it works: Interested parties are urged to log onto a specially-created website, www.winbifflesbike.com, and buy raffle tickets for $25 each. A block of five tickets is $100.
Now to the grand prize, a custom motorcycle designed by Chris Olson, of Chris Olson Customs out of Spokane, Washington. The "National Guard" Bike is a red, white and blue chopper with stunning looks. No doubt it would be any collectors dream; the bike is a tribute to the outstanding efforts and service of the men and women of the National Guard, which is also Greg Biffle's primary Nextel Cup Sponsor at Roush Racing.
The raffle officially kicked off in June, 2006 at Dover International Speedway. The winning ticket will entitle the lucky participant to not only the custom bike, but the opportunity to be a special guest of Greg Biffle at a race next year. All purchasers of one of the $25 tickets will receive and autographed picture of Greg and Gracie; one of Biffle's personal dogs.
"We're very thankful that we have some wonderful partners in the Wood Brothers/JTG Race Team joining in combined efforts to build awareness for animal welfare," said Nicole Lunders, Biffle's girlfriend and Executive Director of the Greg Biffle Foundation. "We hope that this exposure at Martinsville will continue to encourage people to register to win the bike while supporting a great cause along the way," she added.
"We're more than happy to donate the space on the No. 21 truck this weekend at Martinsville," said Jodi Geschickter. "It's a cause I believe in and one that has been at the forefront of all of our charity efforts for a long time," she added.
