RACING FOR AMERICA: PRIMETIME RACE GROUP JOINS FORCES WITH POST 911
FOUNDATION
St. Petersburg, FL (March 30, 2009) American Le Mans Series racing team
Primetime Race Group and Post 911 Foundation teams up to raise awareness
for the first responders, veterans and Americans who have served our
nation in the aftermath of 9/11.
After the devising terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 NYPD Officer
Rich Miller raised the American Flag on the antenna off of the collapsed
WTC Tower 1. The flag was a symbol that American will come together and
unite. The Post 911 Foundation formed to create grass roots awareness,
community support, and tangible assistance for members of the Military,
Government, Police, and Firefighter communities, as well as other great
Americans who have answered the call to duty since the attack. Primetime
Race Group will support activities such as the "Follow the
Flag" initiative as its historic journey back to Ground Zero will
provide a vehicle to raise awareness and inspire assistance for all of
our American heroes.
Come join Primetime driver Chris Hall, the team and the Post 911
Foundation for cocktails and Hors D'oeuvre's as they gear up
for the St. Petersburg Grand Prix!

"I am honored to be a part of an astonishing organization and to
show my support by racing to the finish line for all the Americans who
continuously fight for America. As an owner of an American-based racing
team, campaigning an American-made racing car in an American racing
series, supporting a foundation that continuously gives back to Americans
who have spent time away from their families to fight for our country, is
an ideal fit" expressed Joel Feinberg, Primetime Race Group owner
and driver.
"I believe Primetime Race Group represents a true American Spirit,
forged from the heart of America, the steel factories in Pennsylvania,
and the union workers who make the American muscle cars that come out of
Detroit. I believe this racing team can once again capture our
competitive spirit and sense of national pride" comments Scott
Neil, President of Post 911 Foundation & Member of the Special Operations
Community
About Post 911 Foundation
While focusing on programs, such as the First Responder Memorials and
grass roots Peer to Peer PTSD support initiatives, the Post 911
Foundation will also actively forge partnerships with other likeminded
charitable veteran, law enforcement, and first responder organizations.
The foundation believes the nation can re-capture the spirit of national
unity found in the Post 9/11 moment and come together once again to
promote peace, pride, and prosperity. In doing so, the foundation intends
to assist those who have served our nation and may be in need, so they
will be restored, renewed, and empowered to succeed.

engineers, who share a common goal of excellence. The team is lead by
owner/driver Joel Feinberg, whose passion for winning as a team is the

unturned.
Primetime competes in the ALMS's GT2 class, the most competitive in
the series. With more than seven different manufacturers and a fierce
group of talented drivers, winning will not always come down to how fast

uncompromised efforts and recent success has shown that Primetime is a
top contender and is here to stay. They are in the business of winning.
Watch for the Primetime Viper 'Race for America' as it winds through the
