Teams raising awareness of Tripp Halstead at Homestead: SR2 Motorsports will take to the track on November 17 at Homestead-Miami Speedway in support of 2-year-old Tripp Halstead. Trip, a two-year old toddler from Georgia, suffered a brain injury on October 29, 2012 when a large tree limb broke and fell onto Tripp outside of the daycare center he attends. Hurricane Sandy knocked the branch off the tree and onto a chain-link fence before striking Tripp in the head. The branch is believed to weigh hundreds of pounds. Currently Tripp remains in critical condition at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. SR2 Motorsports (#00 & 24) is leading the way to raise awareness for Tripp in a joint venture with MacDonald Motorsports (#81) and TriStar Motorsports (#10, 14, 19 & 91). The #00 driven by Blake Koch will be completely dedicated to Trip while each of the remaining cars will run a special decal for Tripp. Go to www.teamboom4tripp.com to donate money to help aide Tripp’s family with their medical bills and various expenses during his long road to recovery.(SR2 Motorsports)(11-13-2012)
