6.18.18 – On June 12, 2018, the Alliance of Automotive Service Providers of New Jersey (AASP/NJ) hosted its seventh annual Race Night at RPM Raceway in Jersey City.
The event, which has become widely anticipated, once again brought together industry members and supporters from all over the state to take part in a fun and friendly competition, which also raises money for a good cause.
The AASP/NJ will once again donate $1,000 of proceeds from the event to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to aid in the fight against prostate cancer.
“It was tremendous. A lot of fun. The people there had a ball,” said Jeff McDowell, AASP/NJ past president, and founding member of the popular event. “Some of the shops brought double-digit numbers of their employees and that’s just amazing,” he added, commenting that Race Night continues to grow more and more each year.
Forty-five racers sped along the track in electric go-karts taking part in a three-race series hoping to place among the top three. Everyone who participated had fun competing and displayed great skill. Congratulations to the top three finishers: James Moyes (Krehel Automotive) who took first place; Keith Krehel (Krehel Automotive), second place finisher; and Dave Albrecht (Pace Collision) who came in third.
AASP/NJ would like to thank everyone who participated in this year’s Race Night, and the association looks forward to seeing old and new faces at future AASP/NJ events, including next year’s Race Night. To participate in next year’s Race Night, please contact AASP/NJ Administrative Office at (973) 667-6922.
