INDIANAPOLIS (Jan. 25, 2007) - Mail Terminal Services, sponsor of the MTS Dodge Charger R/T Funny Car that Jack Beckman will drive in the 2007 NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series for Don Schumacher Racing, will introduce the "Mail from Home" program at the season-opening event at the Auto Club Raceway at Pomona (Calif.), Feb. 8-11.
DSR and MTS, through its partnerships with the U.S. Post Office and DHL Globalmail, will honor service personnel of a different war-zone camp in Iraq and Afghanistan at each of the 23 NHRA national events in 2007 by displaying the camp name on the MTS Funny Car.
DSR and MTS will also provide the opportunity for the public attending each event to write short notes of appreciation to the troops stationed at that camp. MTS will then forward these notes along with photographs of the MTS Funny Car to the camp commander who will distribute them as appropriate.
"Through our partnerships with USPS and DHL Globalmail, MTS receives, sorts and packages mail going to the war zones in Iraq and Afghanistan," explained Rodger Comstock, President and CEO of Mail Terminal Services. "It became clear to us that we at MTS could provide a unique service that would help generate positive communications via notes, post cards and letters from the American public and NHRA fans to the U.S. Military on deployment in war zones.
"This is one way in which we at MTS and DSR can demonstrate our support to all the troops who are away from home defending our country. They deserve to receive positive and encouraging words not only from their countrymen, but the patriotic NHRA fans as well."
Added Don Schumacher: "I fully support the MTS 'Mail from Home' program as a means to provide positive messages from home to those in war zones overseas. Everyone at DSR and MTS will work hand-in-hand to get this project underway first in Pomona and then throughout the 23-event season."
Here's how the program will work: At each of the 23 NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series national events MTS will feature a different war-zone Military Base on the envelope logo on the MTS Funny Car. NHRA fans will be able to stop by the kiosk in the Don Schumacher Racing pit area (and other sites to be determined) and drop a note of support for our troops. Post cards will be collected at the end of each day and then packaged to send to the troops. Along with the package of post cards, MTS will send two enlarged photos of the MTS Dodge Charger in action along with a still pit shot, signed by driver and crew. Additional hero cards from driver Jack Beckman and the MTS team will accompany the photos and post cards. The six other DSR teams will also be invited to participate.
Mail Terminal Services is a business-to-business mail sorting and forwarding company, which has strategic partnerships with the U.S. Post Office and DHL Globalmail. Led by President and CEO Rodger Comstock, MTS is headquartered in Weston, Fla., and operates 23 terminals throughout the United States.
