Over $65,000 Raised at Sonoma Chapter of Speedway Children’s Charities in Honor of Eric Medlen
SONOMA, CA – On a night filled with stories, memories and highlights about the late Eric Medlen, over $65,000 was raised Thursday 
through a charity karting event at the Sonoma Raceway Karting Center, donations and an animated live auction for the Sonoma chapter of Speedway Children’s Charities. Last year Maynard Ashley Racing team owner Dustin Davis along with Justin Ashley and Antron Brown made the commitment to reboot a special charity dinner in honor of Eric Medlen. After a golf tournament and dinner at the Santa Rosa Country Club $48,500 was raised thanks to support from primary event sponsors Phillips Connect, Nordby Signature Homes, Lucas Oil, Matco Tools and the efforts of Davis, Ashley and Brown. The donation amount up was rounded up by Phillips Connect vice president Jim Epler to $50,000 in a surprise announcement during the opening ceremonies. Yesterday during the opening ceremonies of the NHRA Sonoma Nationals Epler along with Justin Ashley presented a check to Courtney Kiser representing the $69,000 raised on Thursday.
“Last year was so amazing and this year exceeded all our expectations. The support and donations we received in honor of Eric Medlen are going to make a tremendous impact for local families in need,” said Courtney Kiser, Director, Speedway Children’s Charities Sonoma. “Eric was such a special person, and it was so heartwarming to celebrate his legacy here at Sonoma Raceway in Turn 11.
