Support Hurricane Helene Relief via Operation Airdrop |
As you're likely aware of by now, Hurricane Helene has devastated a significant chunk of North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia and Florida. In western parts of North Carolina, some areas have experienced flooding that hasn't been seen since the 18th century. To that end, we at Frontstretch want to help the relief efforts. To that end, Frontstretch is supporting Operation Airdrop's Operation Helene, which is organizing donations in the Charlotte area and airlifting supplies to areas that have been cutoff due to flooding. If
you are able, you can donate to the effort. If you're local to the Charlotte area, you can volunteer to help with the effort. In addition, there is a designated spot to drop off donations at the Walmart Supercenter in Concord, N.C. The address is 5825 Thunder Rd. NW, Concord, NC 28027. This is off Exit 49 of Interstate 85 (Concord Mills Boulevard/Bruton Smith Boulevard). The donations are picked up every day at 5 p.m. ET so that they can be hustled to nearby
Concord-Padgett Regional Airport or to Hickory Regional Airport for the airlifts. |
- In Indianapolis, the Indianapolis 8 Hour race weekend is already getting underway today with a couple of open test sessions for teams entered in Saturday's eight-hour race along with official practice sessions for Mustang Challenge. - Teams are continuing to prepare for this weekend's action in Talladega.
We'll have anything that breaks for you at Frontstretch. |
