To
celebrate the July 4 Independence Day holiday, the Godfather Motorsports
Chevrolet will be re-numbered 76 for this event, honoring Johnson’s
longstanding relationship with the POW*MIA Awareness Campaign. “The number is
abbreviated from 1776, the birthdate of our nation,” said Johnson. “I’ve had a
lot of success with that number over the years, and I’m happy to have it back
on my door next week at the Milwaukee Mile.”
Tuesday’s
$10,000 to win main event may be the most star-studded short track race in recent
history. Included on the 80-car entry list are no less than five NASCAR Sprint
Cup Series stars; Matt Kenseth, Kyle Busch, David Stremme, David Ragan and Joe

Truck Series championship contender Johnny Sauter.
“The Howie Lettow Memorial is a race every
Super Late Model driver dreams of winning,” said Johnson “With more than 80 of
the top Late Model drivers and teams from around the country attempting to
qualify, just making the race is a huge achievement. We’re looking
forward to taking on the best of the best, and carrying the KOMA Unwind colors
to the front of the pack.”

About POW*MIA Awareness – Godfather
Motorsports is proud to support the POW*MIA Awareness Campaign. Driver Jerick
Johnson has long been an advocate for veterans’ rights and the United States
military. He is a five-time Distinguished Guest of the American Legion National
Convention and has earned numerous awards from other veterans’ organizations.
Promoting and increasing public awareness of the POW*MIA issue has become his
main goal. `Prisoner Of War: Missing in Action’ refers to any soldier taken
prisoner by the opposing side during an action of war. It is not always known
whether that solider is alive or dead, only that they are missing. Our goal is
to remind our fellow Americans that the greatest tragedy of all is to be
forgotten, and honor those who have given so much. Jerick thanks Godfather
Motorsports for the opportunity to help increase awareness of this issue by
carrying the POW*MIA logo on the No. 30 KOMA Unwind Chevrolet.
I'll be there with Big 8 series car 82
