Freedom Ford Logo

On the heels of last year’s “NSF1” Jeep Wrangler, built to benefit the Navy Seal Foundation, The AAM Group™ is hard at work on the “Freedom Ford,” a 2016 Ford F-150 wrapped in a custom black digital camo blended with an American flag graphic. Boasting 35” tires and a 7” lift, the Freedom Ford is an imposing presence and a patriotic tribute to the hard-earned liberty we enjoy in the United States thanks to the vigilance and sacrifices of our most courageous citizens.

TIM ODOM DROPS GREEN FLAG AT NASCAR WHELEN ALL-AMERICAN LATE MODEL STOCK CAR RACE

Kingsport Speedway Event Saw Ronnie McCarty Capture His Fourth Win of the Season

AAM Group™ President Tim Odom had the honor of dropping the green flag on the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series late model stock car event held Friday, August 12 in Kingsport, Tennessee. The race additionally honored the late Gene Glover, winner of the 1979 NASCAR Late Model Sportsman national championship and the all-time title holder at the Kingsport Speedway.

Odom, who waived the flag for NASCAR official and AAM Program Sales Manager Jerry Simpson, got the 18-car field going on Back to School night, which saw children receive NASCAR Acceleration Nation school supplies. Defending champion Ronnie McCarty outmaneuvered a game field in his #5 car to pick up his fourth win of the season, followed in the final standings by Zeke Shell, Robbie Ferguson, Wayne Hale, and Justin Fontaine.

“I had a blast dropping the flag,” said Odom. “It’s a great feeling to be that near a pack of high-powered cars getting up to speed. Jerry taught me a great deal about the role of a flag person in a race, and I gained a great appreciation for all that figure does to contribute to fair competition, safety, and a better experience for the fans.”

The AAM Group™, the largest program distribution group in the SEMA marketplace, has entered into an exclusive service agreement with Enterprise Holdings to provide preferred pricing on airport and local-market auto rentals at Enterprise Rent-A-Car and National Car Rental locations across the US and Canada.

Selecting the “Rental Car Discount” portal will reveal the AAM USA, Inc. account number, which users can reference when booking their rentals (choose National at airports and Enterprise for local service).

Trucks Also to Benefit SEMA Cares Charities through Pinewood Drag Race Event

The AAM Group™, the largest program distribution group in the SEMA marketplace, bought and built three pinewood derby trucks to benefit the SEMA Cares charitable organization. The trucks, each sponsored by one of AAM’s retail marketing programs, were raced alongside other entrants in the Pinewood Derby that was held directly before the SEMA Installation Banquet & Gala Fundraiser last Friday in Pomona, Calif.

In a special tie-in, AAM dedicated each of the trucks to one of this year’s three new SEMA Hall of Fame inductees: Matt Agosta, Chip Foose, and Gary Hooker. The truck numbers—07, 29, and 16—commemorated the date of the event. Agosta, Foose, and Hooker were on hand to run their trucks down the track, and were presented with them afterward to additionally recognize their contributions to the industry.

“AAM has long supported the SEMA Pinewood Derby and the charities it benefits,” said AAM President Tim Odom. “This year we saw a great opportunity to use our cars to further recognize some of our industry’s heroes on our cars, as the derby coincides with their recognition. We had a great deal of fun with the design and build and hope the cars added a little color to the event.”
