May is always a busy month for anybody involved in motorsports. From Indianapolis to Charlotte and many other points across the United States, May often proves to be the month that challenges race teams, sponsors, media and the variety of motorsports related businesses that assist the sport. Perhaps no other company knows the demands better than the JHE Production Group, Inc. With significant involvement with four high profile events — the NASCAR Nextel Pit Crew Challenge, The NASCAR Nextel All-Star Challenge, Food Lion Speed Street and the Coca-Cola 600 — the JHE Production Group makes the most of its busiest and hectic month. The Nextel Pit Crew Challenge was held on Wednesday, May 16th at the Charlotte Bobcats Arena. The event drew a record crowd of more than 6,000 fans. 2007 marked the third year the event was held. Ryan Newman’s seven-member crew changed four tires, filled the car with gas and pushed it 40 yards in 24.66 seconds to collect the $70,300 first prize. Food Lion Speed Street has brought top-quality entertainment to uptown Charlotte for more than a decade. In addition to celebrating NASCAR’s strong heritage in the region it assists in promoting Charlotte and surrounding communities, leading to a major economic impact on the entire region. Coordination and execution of NASCAR and IRL pre race activities continues to be at the core of the JHE Production Group’s focus. With two high profile Nextel Cup events at Lowe’s Motor Speedway grouped over a two weekend period the demand on JHE and its employees is undeniable.
