NASCAR driver and donor son, Joey Gase, to feature cornea and tissue donor on car at Phoenix Raceway
Picture
MESA, AZ— NASCAR driver Joey Gase will showcase his car featuring donor Gloria Estrada on the bumper at the Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division (ADOT MVD) location where she had registered as an organ, eye and tissue donor when she turned 18 years old—seven years before she passed away.

The grand reveal of the car to Gloria’s family will start at 2 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 3, 2022, at the Mesa/Gilbert Regional ADOT MVD office at 4123 E Valley Auto Dr., Mesa, AZ 85206 ahead of his weekend race at Phoenix Raceway in Avondale.

This story highlights how important ADOT MVD’s partnership is with Donor Network of Arizona (DNA) because their team gives Arizonans the chance to say yes to organ, eye and tissue donation. And the connection to the gift of life goes one step further for some ADOT MVD employees.

“In every situation I’ve encountered, including that of my father-in-law—a kidney recipient from a living donor—there is a universal gratitude for the gift of extra life they have been granted by donation,” says Bonnie Palomo, east regional manager for ADOT MVD and a living kidney donor. “I am proud to be part of an organization that advocates and empowers our community to make the choice to check that box and save lives.”

Joey Estrada and Melissa Garza, Gloria’s parents, honored Gloria’s life motto to always help others whenever possible by supporting her decision to donate.

“That’s where we’re finding our peace,” Melissa says, “just knowing that she has and will help so many.”

After Gloria passed away from a sudden onset of strokes, she offered the gifts of tissue, corneas, as well as hair and whole-body donation for research (the final two made possible through other donation agencies).

​Please remind your audiences: Arizonans can join the DonateLifeAZ Registry when they apply for or renew a driver’s license or state ID at an ADOT MVD or select authorized third-party office. They can also register online at DonateLifeAZ.org.

Donor Network of Arizona (DNA) fulfills the lifesaving and life-healing mission of organ, eye and tissue donation as the state’s federally designated organ procurement organization. Our work is made possible by the generosity of Arizona donors and their families. As also a tissue recovering agency and eye bank, DNA collaborates with health care and community partners to facilitate the gift of life. DNA is a vital link for transplantation and encourages Arizonans to sign up to be donors at DonateLifeAZ.org. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram: @DonateLifeAZ

Thursday’s various ceremony events ultimately serves to honor various individuals’ efforts and the Texas DPS’ contribution to DLT’s lifesaving mission throughout the state.  “The ongoing partnership with the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Driver License Division remains the primary source of registrations,” says Chad Carroll, Executive Director, Donate Life Texas.  “Almost 90 percent of registered Texans have signed up through a transaction at their local DPS driver license office.

McGruff the Crime Dog® and NASCAR’s Joey Gase want you to buy smart

August 24, 2022

Daytona Beach, FL – NASCAR driver Joey Gase, alongside McGruff the Crime Dog®, are spotlighting the harms of counterfeit products, at the WAWA 250 on August 26. With his #35 car displaying the Go For Real logo, Gase is promoting the successful anti-counterfeiting campaign, which is sponsored by the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to raise awareness of the importance of buying authentic products.

“I am extremely excited to be teaming up with McGruff the Crime Dog® this weekend in DAYTONA!” said Joey Gase. “I remember McGruff coming and visiting my class when I was in elementary school and how cool that was. I also know my boys will be so excited to meet McGruff at the track on Friday!”

This partnership is driven by NASCAR and Gase’s deep understanding of the harms that are caused by fakes. The Go For Real campaign educates fans and consumers on the dangers of dupes that permeate multiple industries, including professional sports.

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has valued the counterfeit auto-part market at roughly $12 million annually, with 80% of these dupes coming from China.
“NASCAR drivers rely on the safety of real auto parts to compete in various races annually,” said Paul DelPonte, Executive Director of the NCPC home of McGruff the Crime Dog. “Whether on a track, or on the street, it is vital to choose real products that are tested for safety. Through this partnership we can reach millions of Americans with one message: You’re Smart. Buy Smart.”

“Buying smart and buying real is key to keeping our drivers, as well as our kids and loved ones, safe,” said Kathi Vidal, Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the USPTO, and an amateur race car driver herself. “Counterfeit goods, which cross our borders into the U.S. at the rate of over $9 million in value per day, not only harm and cause death, they also take jobs away from American families. Whether it is car or video game components, make-up or prescription drugs, or purses and shoes, this pervasive criminal activity must be stopped. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo and I are committed to cracking down on counterfeit goods for the benefit of every American and entrepreneur. I am thrilled that NASCAR – an iconic brand in and of itself – and driver Joey Gase are doing their part to change the narrative and shifting this import work into high gear.”

You can catch the crime fighters on the USA Network at 7:30EST.

This Saturday, under the lights at Richmond Raceway, Young Motorsports and Joey Gase will be racing the #20 Donate Life Virginia Silverado. You may think this is just another ordinary sponsor, but then you may notice a picture of a woman on the tailgate of the truck. This is a photo of Mary Gase, Joey Gase’s mother, who passed away of a sudden Brain Aneurysm at the age of 44 and became an organ, eye, and tissue donor. She helped save and improve the lives of 66 people.

“I'm very excited to get behind the wheel this weekend,” said Gase. “First, we have the opportunity to raise awareness for organ, eye, and tissue donation and honor all of those affected by it. Some know my family's story about my mom, but there is another connection to organ donation in the NASCAR garage. Tyler's dad, Randy, is actually an organ recipient! It will be special to show the NASCAR world the effects organ donation can have on people and families. My sister Ashley and I wish more than anything we could have our mom back but it gives us some comfort that someone like Randy is able to live their life because of her choice to donate life.”

To schedule interviews with Joey Gase at the track with the truck please reach out to JoeyGasePR@gmail.com or kb@youngsmotorsports.com

Emerling-Gase Motorsports will run both the #35 and the #53 full time in the NASCAR XFINITY Series in 2023. 2022 has been the first season of existence for the team, starting off in Daytona with drivers Joey Gase and Shane Lee both getting the cars into the show. The team has qualified for every race they have entered with the #35 and #53, has a best finished of 11th at COTA, 6 top 20 finishes, only 2 DNF’s due to accidents on the track, and currently sitting 28th in owner standings.

“I am extremely proud of our Emerling-Gase Motorsports team,” said co-owner and driver for EGM Joey Gase. “There are not too many start up teams or small teams this season that can say they have made every race they have entered and only have 2 DNF’s, plus be in the top 30 in owner points. I have been racing in the sport since 2011 and can say without a doubt this is the toughest the XFINITY Series field has been in the last 10 years. We could not do this without our tremendous employees we have at EGM and of course all our sponsors like Donate Life, Kitty Kat Coin, Eternal Fan, Captain Pips and many more. With that being said, we have a lot of work to do and a lot of room to grow and Patrick and I are looking forward to the challenge.”

“We faced a lot of challenges as a startup team and I am very proud of what we have accomplished so far,” said co-owner and driver for EGM Patrick Emerling. “I am looking forward to working with Joey and the whole EGM group, and continuing to grow our team into the future.”

The team is planning on one car to have one full time or close to full time driver and the second car to be split up between Joey Gase, Patrick Emerling, Shane Lee and others.

“I’m Very thankful to be able to team up with OneLegacy to not only promote organ, eye, and tissue donation but to also honor all of those affected by it” Said Gase. “I have learned firsthand how import donation is not only to those on the wait list and recipients but donor families as well”.
