The Rob Report Welcome to another week of Wheelz-Up Radio. Your #1 Choice for Sportsman Drag Racing. This week on Wheelz-Up Radio presented by Sassy Race Engines we join host Chris Barnes, Tri-State Stock/SS President Mike Carr, Mid Atlantic .90 Association President Rob Keister & possibly Bob "The Sheriff" Bender will be pulling the squad car into the lanes sirens blaring. On this week's show the gang will talk with recently crowned Division 1 Super Stock Champion Gary Ewing about his season. They will also look back to an action packed Las Vegas National Event & Rockingham D-2 Event and preview the ever popular Las Vegas D-7 event that is the finale for the Lucas Oil Series for the year and will mostly solidify who the champions will be for the World and the individual Divisions. This week's guest is a legend in the ranks of Division 1. When you think of Super Stock on the East Coast this name usually comes to the top - The Ewing Brothers. Driving their 1969 Z-28 Camaro the younger brother of the three (Gary) wheeled the SS/JA to the Division 1 Super Stock Championship in 2016 by outlasting some of the biggest names in the Northeast. Racing for over 40 years out of their home in Maryland, the Ewings have claimed National Event trophies at the Keystone Nationals and a few Runner-Ups at E-Town and the Summernationals. When not racing they keep a busy schedule, as they love displaying the car in shows when time allows. Not only is their vehicle quick and fast on the track, but also gets a many a second look when standing still at the local shows. We look forward to talking with Gary about how his season went and how he was able to outlast the best of the best and claim a championship. Wheelz-Up Radio presented by Sassy Race Engines fires the engines beginning at 7pm on Wednesday Night. To call in and chat with the hosts or our special guests please call 1-347-826-7505.

As many Veterans and their families know all too well, the transition from service to civilian life has many obstacles. A large amount of combat Veterans have PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and tasks like sitting in a classroom that civilians take for granted are difficult. Manpower to Horsepower is a hands-on program that teaches Veterans motorsport management. Sue Roberson CEO/President for Manpower to Horsepower Salisbury, North Carolina We started this business in 2009 to just start giving back to our Veterans by building a 2 seat race car that the Veterans could ride around the track in. That was a great success which led us to thinking that maybe we could through our race shop teach some of them to weld and fabricate and help them get jobs. I talked to the Veterans Administration about my idea which lead them to sending me to the community colleges to start a program. We have now been able for the past four years have a Motorsports program that is strictly for Veterans and is taught at our race shop. We not only teach at the shop but as long as they maintain a good GPA in school they go to the track with the race cars and are the pit crew for our super late model dirt cars. Because we race World of Outlaw and Lucas Oil Series we are going to 19 states and 67 cities in the US so that we can spread the word about this program to as many Veterans that are interested. We have recently been given the go ahead for our new school in Kansas City and have also partnered with CRI Counter Terrorism Training in Las Vegas, Warriors in the Workplace, and the Tug McGraw Foundation so that we are able to offer more jobs for our Veterans . Both mine and my husband's families are very military oriented so this is a very near and dear cause for us.
