The Bob Frahm Community Racing Challenge and Fallen Heroes/Lest They Be Forgotten.org are hosting on May 26th, 2007 at Springport Motor Speedway the 2007 Fallen Heroes 500 Memorial Race.
This exciting racing challenge pits six Mid-Michigan Active Service Members representing Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Army National Guard in a ten-lap Stock Car race to benefit Michigan's Fallen Heroes of Iraq.
The families of Army Spc Donald L. Wheeler of Concord; Marine LCpl Troy D. Nealey of Eaton Rapids; and Marine Reserve LCpl Brent E. Beeler of Napoleon will be honored at the track with a special Color Guard ceremony and fly over. All proceeds will be donated to Michigan Chapter of "Lest They Be Forgotten" specifically in names of the Wheeler, Nealey & Beeler family and for the construction of hometown memorials to honor these brave men from Mid-Michigan, who have lost their lives defending the United States of America in the war against terrorism.
The Fallen Heroes 500 is a "Featured Heat" event and part of the regularly scheduled slate of races taking place every Saturday evening at Springport Motor Speedway. Pony Stocks, Pure Stocks, and Sportsmen class events will also be racing on May 26th

Directed by Grass Lake resident Patrick McNamara, the Community Racing Challenge hopes to foster not only new interest in local short track racing, but enhance the relationship between drivers, owners, local businesses and the citizens of our community.
