Kim Crosby weathers storm, prepares to race in California



Eddyville, Ky. – Kim Crosby has spent the last few days doing what everyone else who lives in the New Orleans area has been doing, surviving.
Crosby lives in Slidell, La., on the northern shore of Lake Pontchartrain. She and her husband Chris evacuated on Sunday and rode out Hurricane Katrina in Vicksburg, Miss. on Monday. She was able to return to the area on Tuesday and verify that her house had survived the storm. But even so, it will be at least a month before the area is habitable again

Talladega Leads Hurricane Relief

RacingOne Report

Posted Wednesday, August 31, 2005


Motorsports fans can help those in need in several ways.


TALLADEGA, Ala. - Led by a call to action to all International Speedway Corporation sister tracks by Talladega Superspeedway, millions of residents affected by the rampage of Hurricane Katrina in its home state of Alabama, as well nearby Mississippi and Louisiana will benefit from a company-wide hurricane relief program announced today by TSS President Grant Lynch.

"Many of our race fans in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana were affected by the horrible devastation of Hurricane Katrina," said Lynch, who also serves as a Vice President at ISC. "Talladega Superspeedway, as well as other International Speedway Corporation facilities across the nation are committed to helping get residents affected by the storm back on their feet."

Beginning at Richmond International Raceway and its Chevy Rock & Roll 400 weekend (Sept. 8-10), ISC-owned tracks will begin facilitating the collection of monetary donations from race fans to the Red Cross in support of the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.

Other ISC event weekends where fans can donate to the relief fund include:


Talladega Superspeedway: Oct. 1st weekend

Kansas Speedway: Oct. 7th weekend

Martinsville Speedway: Oct. 21st weekend

Phoenix: Nov. 11th weekend

Homestead-Miami: Nov. 18th weekend

Race fans not attending any of these events may still support Talladega Superspeedway's call to action by contacting your local Red Cross office and designating donations "Talladega Superspeedway" in support of the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.

ISC's corporate office located in Daytona Beach, Fla., has committed $1 million in funding and services to jump start the initiative. Funding and services include monetary donations and clothing from ISC's merchandising subsidiary Americrown.
