SylvanSport suports Darol Kubacz through NASCAR Angels: Darol Kubacz isn't your average weekend warrior. In 1992, he lost the use of his legs in a motorcycle accident while serving in the Army. This year, Darol became the first person to summit Kilimanjaro on a hand pedaled cycle. Darol is tireless in his efforts to lead other wheelchair-bound adventurers into the wilderness, and we wanted to help. When NASCAR Angels asked us if we could hitch a GO to Darol's Honda Element, we had to say, YES! We were truly moved by his story, and we think you will be too. Check out: www.fflfoundation.org
NASCAR Angels featuring Darol Kubacz and SylvanSport will air the weekend of February 14-15, 2009 on more than 200 TV channels nationwide and on the Hallmark Channel on February 22nd, 2009 at 8am ET. Click here to read more.
