NASCAR Driver Josh Bilicki and Chesterfield Auto Parts are partnering to honor our fallen heroes on the 20th Anniversary of 9-11. Sponsoring Bilicki and the Rick Ware Racing team with their fire engine themed race car design, Chesterfield Auto Parts is hosting a meet and greet event on Friday, September 10th, to raise funds for the Richmond Fire Department Foundation.
According to Bilicki, “We wanted to do something special for this race because of the 20th anniversary of 9-11. We painted the car to resemble a fire engine to remember the first responders who lost their lives that day. We are also auctioning off a Chesterfield Auto Parts race suit, with proceeds going to charity.”
The public is invited to two exciting events, first to meet NASCAR driver, Josh Bilicki, Friday, September 10th at Chesterfield Auto Parts from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. along with the #52 Ford Mustang on display. In addition, the Richmond Fire Department will be on hand to demonstrate vehicle extrication techniques, and Smash a Car for $1 a Hit game, will also benefit the RFD Foundation.
The second event takes place on Saturday, September 11th, honoring the heroes of 9-11 at the NASCAR Cup Series, Richmond Raceway, 600 E. Laburnum Avenue, beginning at 6:30 p.m. The race will be televised live on NBCSN.
