Local North Richland Hills, Tex. Auto Finance Company Teams With Strong Fathers-Strong Families to Honor Some Top Dads

NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, Texas, Oct. 30 -- Many fathers race through their daily routines of work, school functions and home, but on Nov. 5 some area fathers will enjoy a different kind of race at the Texas Motor Speedway. RoadLoans(R), a North Richland Hills auto finance company, has teamed with Forth Worth-based Strong Fathers-Strong Families to support the organization and honor four special dads for their commitment to their children with a day at the races. These Strong Fathers and their children will experience the thrill of NASCAR as the chase for NASCAR's Nextel Cup roars into the Texas Motor Speedway.

RoadLoans, a primary sponsor of BAM Racing's No. 49 RoadLoans.com Nextel Cup Dodge, driven by racing veteran Mike Bliss, also will share the hood of the No. 49 RoadLoans.com Nextel Cup Dodge with Strong Fathers-Strong Families as the car takes to the track for the Dickies 500.

"Teaming with Strong Fathers-Strong Families on the RoadLoans Dodge at our hometown Texas Motor Speedway makes our NASCAR sponsorship so much more worthwhile," said Chris Goodman, senior vice president, RoadLoans. "Strong Fathers-Strong Families focuses on strengthening children by strengthening their fathers and families. Involved fathers build stronger children, which ultimately strengthens our community.

"While so many fathers positively impact the lives of their children and others around them, we're pleased to honor four fathers whose involvement with their children and their schools have set them apart," continued Goodman. "We're hoping this day out will allow them to take some time out with their children to enjoy a different kind of race."

The No. 49 RoadLoans.com Nextel Cup Dodge will hit the track for practice and qualifying on Friday, Nov. 3. The Dickies 500 will take place on Sunday, Nov. 5.
