Johnny Kringas Wins - The Kim Parsons Memorial - at Beaver Dam Raceway
Johnny Kringas took the checker flag for his 2nd victory of the season. The first with the All Terrain Body and Detail sponsored car during the 20 lap USLCI Legends Feature Race.
Race Facts:
Car Chief Mickey Kudlicki, knew it would be a good night as he made sure the #10 car perfectly prepped for the race but that he also brought “The Good Luck Charm” his Dad Mike Kudlicki to the track, Mike has come to Beaver Dam three times in the past two years, and Johnny has won all three times.
Mike NEEDS!! to show up more often!
The All Terrain Body and Detail spectacularly painted #10 Car, received many complements and the notice of those gathered in Victory Lane after the race as Johnny answered questions about the paint job and how to contact All Terrain Body and Detail.
A special race, for a very good cause, to promote Organ and Tissue Donation.
Kringas Motorsports is Proud to have met Steve Parsons prior to the race as he passed out info on the importance of the race. We talked about his loss of his daughter, his inspirational story and were impressed with his love for his daughter and how he is trying to honor her life. All of our respect for Steve as spreads his message about organ, eye and tissue donation.
This special event The Kim Parsons Memorial was made possible by Steve Parsons who has announced races at several Wisconsin race tracks over the past 30 years and currently the track announcer at Seymour Speedway and Veterans Raceway Park in Tomah.
On January 2, 2008, his daughter Kimmie died at age 21. Steve in partnership with UW Organ & Tissue Donationto present this Kim Parsons Memorial Tour, to keep his daughter's memory alive and to promote the importance of Organ and Tissue Donation. These events aren't memorial races for his daughter, but they are being held to promote donation, with the trophies for each event being donated in her honor thanks to our generous sponsors.
Approximately 60 events are planned at tracks throughout Wisconsin and the U.P. of Michigan. Representatives will be at these events to hand out information about Organ and Tissue Donation.
Quick Facts:
