NCWTS: Ben Rhodes and ThorSport Partner with Operation BBQ Relief

Earlier this week, ThorSport Racing announced a new partnership between Ben Rhodes, Alpha Energy Solutions and Operation BBQ Relief. Rhodes’ No. 41 Toyota Tundra will recieve sponsorship from the non-profit organization for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) Toyota Tundra 250 at Kansas Speedway.

“I’m extremely honored to partner with Operation BBQ Relief for the Truck Series race in Kansas,” Rhodes said. “This organization has already done so much to help hundreds of thousands of people across the United States during times of destruction, and I, along with ThorSport Racing and Alpha Energy Solutions, want to do our part to help raise awareness for this great cause.”

Starting in 2011, Operation BBQ Relief is a competition held between competitive barbeque teams, with the food being served afterwards to those in need. Over the course of the past five years, they have served 703,000 meals in 18 states. The organization tries to inspire people to get involved in relief efforts, stating all people who get involved “will understand the true meaning of compassion for those who have lost possessions and loved ones, and that they will further utilize all of their God-given skills and abilities to better the lives of those affected”.

“This partnership with Ben (Rhodes), Alpha Energy Solutions and ThorSport Racing will allow us the opportunity to raise awareness for our cause on a national level,” Stan Hays, CEO and Co-Founder of Operation BBQ Relief, said. “Our mission is to provide disaster relief through BBQ meals, but to also provide compassion and offer hope and friendship to those whose lives have been affected by disaster across the United States. This platform with NASCAR will allow us to showcase how we help those in need and make a difference in the community when disaster strikes.”
