As we all know, racing at any level costs money and to race in NNS it costs 3-5 MILLION dollars a year to be competitive. I'd say we are definitely holding our own considering we race with less than a quarter of that budget a year. But we are certainly at a disadvantage when we roll the No. 51 out of the hauler at the track each week.
We constantly hear from fans on how they wish they could help. Most recently a fan shared with us that she and her mom were selling candy bars to raise money to support Jeremy. So then was born the idea that by setting up the Indiegogo campaign, fans could support Jeremy with what they could afford and at the end, when all added up, we would have some money to help Jeremy be more competitive.
So here is how this whole idea of crowd funding works:
We start with our 11,000 + fans on Facebook. If each fan gave $10.00, we would be at $110,000 in the blink of an eye. However, due to Facebook's crazy way of doing things, on average only 2,000 of our fans even see our posts.
That is where YOU come in. Maybe you can give $10.00 (or more), but maybe you can't, and we certainly understand that. But you CAN still support Jeremy by sharing our posts about the campaign on your page, with all your family and friends, and asking them to share it with their family and friends, etc. Next thing you know, we are reaching over a Million people on Facebook. If just 5,000 of those who see our campaign give a minimum of $10.00, we will reach our goal! And let's not forget Twitter and the opportunity there to reach another million people!
For those who are able to donate to the campaign, there are also some fun perks. Jeremy has been giving shoutouts via Twitter to all donors. If you can give $25.00 or more, we will put your name on the No. 51 Chevy for one of any of the remaining races this year, of your choice (starting with Atlanta). For those who can give $500.00 or more, you can come hang out at a race of your choice (2014 season), in the garage and pits with Jeremy and the Team. Be sure to check out the Indiegogo page for more details.
We all love #TheFansMan. Let's team up and get behind him! Just think, $50,000 can buy 25 sets of tires....that alone will help make Jeremy more competitive and give him a shot at taking the No. 51 to Victory Lane!
