Support The Team: FreeFeds.org will continue their primary co-sponsorship of Brode’s Dodge at Iowa Speedway this weekend.

They are of the belief that the federal justice system is in need of a total reform. The organization, however, is mainly interested in working toward adding a system of parole for non-violent offenders as part of that overall reform.

Dan Brode, driver of the No. 48 FreeFeds.org Dodge Charger:

On Toledo Speedway : “It was disappointing to say the least. We had some problems all weekend long and just never could overcome them. I hate it for my team and sponsors. We’ll bounce back from it, that’s a promise.”

On Iowa Speedway : “A lot of people have told me good things about Iowa Speedway. It’s a state-of-the-art facility and should be a great race. I plan to have our No. 48 a part of the action Saturday night.”

On Carter-2-Motorsports: “It takes time for the chemistry to come in, but I feel that we’re making good progress. I really enjoy working in the shop. We’re getting along real good and I think everyone will see the difference in a race or two.”
