In a tribute to fallen Salisbury firefighters Victor Isler and Justin Monroe, “NASCAR Angels,” a reality-based TV show, restored a 1979 Corvette and presented it to Isler’s son, 15-year-old Vic Isler. Isler Sr. had bought the car for his son, planning a restoration project for the two of them. Isler died fighting the March 7 fire at Salisbury Millwork. Show hosts Rusty Wallace and Shannon Wiseman surprised Vic and his mother with the car, driven by Kevin Harvick, during a taping of the show at a Salisbury fire station. The Corvette was restored by “NASCAR Angels” and Griffin Brothers Tires, Wheels, and Auto Repair, and Goodyear Gemini repair shop.(Charlotte Observer and more at the Salisbury Post and ‘NASCAR Angels’ leave Vic Isler Jr. a big surprise)(5-17-2008)
