J.D. Byrider

Carmel, Indiana- On Saturday, September 19th, J.D. Byrider Kart Racing Team Driver Tony Petersen represented JD Byrider by participating as the “Corporate Mascot” at the Indianapolis Start! Heart Walk. Although “Spiderman”  posed an ominous threat in the Mascot race, Tony was undaunted and took JD Byrider to a first place finish, well ahead of the field of 10 competitors. The event was a huge success!

JD Byrider Advertising Group president, Jim England, served as overall Chairman of this year’s walk. “I can’t begin to tell you how proud I am of ALL of the JD Byrider teams and personnel who participated this year”, England said. “Audrey Ryder’s team was the number one fund-raising team, and Angela Walsh’s team was fourth overall. To have two teams in the top five is a tribute to Byrider’s competitive spirit. I think we’ve learned a lot from Tony Stewart and Tony Petersen!”

England added, “I’m truly grateful to our founder, Jim DeVoe, Sr., for getting us involved with the American Heart Association a few years back. It’s been a great opportunity for the JD Byrider family to step up, educate and give back.”

Tony Stewart won his own dirt-track charity race in dominating fashion on Wednesday, September 9.  Stewart overtook Kenny Wallace on the 13th lap and never looked back to capture the Gillette Young Guns Prelude to a Dream for the second year in a row.

Joey Logano had some trouble with his #20 Home Depot car, so he jumped into the #14 J.D. Byrider car (as shown below) in which Stewart had won a feature earlier in the year at Paducah, Kentucky.

The race, which drew more than 23,000 fans to Eldora, was broadcast live on HBO Pay-Per-View® with proceeds from the telecast supporting four military-themed charities – Wounded Warrior Project, Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, Operation Homefront and Fisher House. Each has a mission that outlines assistance to the courageous men and women who serve their country and need additional support both during and after their time of service.

“All these drivers who took time out of their schedule to come to Eldora – not once, but twice – I just can’t thank them enough for what they’ve done,” said Stewart, owner of Eldora Speedway.  “That’s what this race is about. We all get to have fun and drive dirt cars, but it’s a lot deeper and bigger cause than that.”
