“I’m thrilled to sponsor the race car driven by Mike Wallace, a member of one of America’s top racing families. The NASCAR Nation experience is a family affair, and my family will be together on pit road cheering Mike onto victory in Daytona,” said Kendrick Meek. “NASCAR has deep roots in Florida, and the NASCAR family is hurting right now, as are Florida families. I’m running for the Senate to get Florida’s economy working again for the NASCAR Nation and all families throughout this state.”
A longtime NASCAR supporter, Kendrick Meek attended NASCAR’s Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway in 2007, and he also attended the final NASCAR Sprint Cup race of 2009 at the same track.
In the Florida state legislature and now in Congress, Meek sponsored legislation supporting this Florida industry, including the recently passed tax extender package that includes the 7-year accelerated depreciation schedule for motorsports entertainment complexes that cleared the House of Representatives in late 2009. The legislation will have a positive direct economic impact in the Daytona Beach area and throughout racing communities in Florida.
