Walking for a Cause: CV Products Supports Relay for Life

CV Products —  May 15, 2013 | Category: Community Support, Company News, Events | Comment

These days you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn’t know someone who has been affected by the ravages of cancer. That’s one reason why CV Products employee Christine Beightol is once again organizing participants for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life fundraiser scheduled this Friday in Lexington, N.C.

Relay-for-Life-logoChristine is an engineer at our company’s Xceldyne Technologies division and 2013 marks the third year in a row that she has organized CV Products employees to help raise money for this volunteer-driven cancer fund-raising event. Her relay team is called Faith, Hope, Fight, Heal, and has actively participated since 2010 as a way to encourage her friends and our employees and their families to walk in support of a great cause.

Christine says that since that inaugural walk, many CV employees have become more aware of the numbers of people they know who have been affected in some manner by cancer. These employees have themselves been a survivor, a caretaker for a cancer patient, or they’ve know known someone who has had cancer or lost a battle with this terrible disease.

If you’re unfamiliar with it, Relay for Life began back in 1985 when a colorectal surgeon named Dr. Gordon Klatt chose to walk around the University of Puget Sound’s stadium track for 24 hours to raise money for cancer research and cancer patients, as well as celebrate the lives of survivors and the lives of those who lost their lives to the disease.

Pretty soon, Dr. Klatt’s overnight event began cropping up in communities throughout the country, with participants bringing tents and sleeping bags and making an entire night out of it. In fact, nearly Continue reading…

What A Weekend – CV Products will be in Four Locations, Including Las Vegas!

CV Products —  March 6, 2013 | Category: Events, Trackside Program | Comment

We’re making an appearance at five race events this weekend in four different states, including a pair in Las Vegas and at racetracks in North and South Carolina, as well as Alabama. And as you’d expect, we’re coming equipped with tons of high performance auto racing parts and accessories from the CV Products warehouse. If you’re in the area of any of these races and you get to us, stop by and chat us up. We’d love to see you!

Meanwhile, here are the locations we’ll be staffing beginning this Saturday:

Sam's_Town_300_LogoSam’s Town 300 Nationwide Series

It’s a NASCAR weekend in Las Vegas, highlighted by the opportunity for fans to meet their favorite drivers and enjoy live music and entertainment at the Neon Garage. Races begin with the Sam’s Town 300 NASCAR Nationwide Series race on Saturday, March 9. And if this is your first NASCAR event, get there early and enjoy the midway, tailgating and other pre-race activities!

Kobalt_Tools_400_Race_LogoKobalt Tools 400

The odds makers favor Jimmie Johnson for this Sunday’s Sprint Cup Series in Las Vegas. With a first-place win and a second-place finish in two races, Johnson currently leads the Sprint Cup Standing by eight points. The Kobalt Tools 400 race begins at 3:16 p.m. (ET), but fans have several days beforehand to meet their favorite NASCAR drivers at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

CV Hosts Cookout for Daytona 500 Racecar Parts Crews

CV Products —  February 28, 2013 | Category: Company News, Events | Comment

A lot of race fans have a hard time wrapping their heads around the concept of auto racing as a team sport. But it is. And like the racecars they design, build, repair or race, these teams are made up of many elements. There are the drivers, of course, the mechanics, the pit crew, the transportation folks and those who order and manage parts. Like we said, it’s a team effort.

And it’s for darned sure the whole team can’t all show up in the pits on race day. Somebody’s got to stay behind at the shop to work on car and engine setups for future races and manage the processing of ordering, stocking and supplying the hundreds of high performance auto racing parts required to make a car and its driver compete in those races. So it was these folks that we invited a cookout during the recent Daytona 500 race season kickoff. Our intent was to honor of all those hard-working parts and equipment folks who make CV Product’s participation in that famed race — and the 2013 race season — possible.

Festivities took place at CV Products’ Mooresville, N.C. location, smack dab in the middle of race week — and included big-screen coverage of the Budweiser Duels on Thursday afternoon. We served up Continue reading…
