Quote selected text Published December 29th, 2007 in NASCAR News
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver J.J. Yeley is giving fans a chance to win a 56-inch Samsung DLP HDTV and the helmet he will wear in the 22nd Annual Chili Bowl Nationals, Jan. 8-12 at the Expo Center in Tulsa, Okla. The event will be broadcast live on HBO Pay-Per-View.
Fans can purchase raffle tickets for $10 at www.jjyeley.com. One lucky fan will win the 56-inch Samsung DLP HDTV, and another will win the Chili Bowl helmet. Tickets will be on sale online until Jan. 4, 2008, and will also be available at the Chili Bowl Jan. 8-12. The drawing will be conducted before the feature race on Saturday, Jan. 12.
Proceeds from the raffle will benefit the St. Jude Children’s Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., and the non-profit Jake Owen Raborn Foundation.
“I’m excited about the raffle,” Yeley said. “Last year we raised $10,000, so we’re hoping to top that this year. I need to thank my sponsor, DLP HDTV, for donating the 56-inch Samsung DLP HDTV. It’s a fantastic TV that someone will really enjoy having in their home. Another lucky fan will have the chance to win the helmet I’m going to wear in the Chili Bowl, and hopefully we’ll have a lot of success so the helmet becomes a valuable piece of memorabilia.”

He’s probably got a lot of Interstate stuff that he’d unload cheap too. About 18 cents on the dollar.
A good guy, decent family man and I for one can rally behind that
any ole day. Probably does has stuff to unload, but helping
kids no matter what the cause, is a good thing. What’s better
than this? Nature, but that’s a whole different spin and yet
both, get this heartbeat going.
Dirt isn’t strange Anthony, it flings when it’s wet and take it
from one who wears it proudly - for years. I’m going to miss
Calistoga WOO dearly but reading this speaks of a place that
is best of all a fan can see. Only two other races, and if able
to go (time and financially) - GOOOOO
Want hearty competition without fixes but dishes. The best bang for
your bucks, and incredible race moments - The Chili Bowl, Knoxville Nationals and
El Dora Raceway’s Prelude to a Dream. Would also give thought to
Lowe’s - Charlotte NC has more than dirt you can see.
“I have a dream - to visit each of these someday, and if I work
hard, I can play hard and this is exactly my kind of escape”
All I have heard from those own race teams, cars or know their
stuff about dirt racing - these are the best shows a dirt fan can
see. Alot of those you see today, came up running sprints/midgets.
Support your backyard dog racing - and Tracks! In meantime, BRING
WOO BACK TO CALISTOGA - PLEASE! Chico is too far to get that
backyard fling -
Good for JJ Yeley - good man from all I have read, heard or seen.
Interstate has been involved for many years and proudly say this,
love Bobby LaBonte and will always associate him with this sponsor.
It would be neat to have the Helmet…
