Why I Joined Erik Jones — And Why You Should Too
August 28, 2025
And the winners are...

A huge thank-you to everyone who purchased tickets and supported the raffle! Together, we raised nearly $3,000 for the Erik Jones Foundation.
In NASCAR, speed isn’t the only thing that leaves a mark. From the roar of the engines to the dents and dings of hard-fought battles on track, every race tells a story — and sometimes, those stories are written right on the sheet metal.
For diehard fans, collecting race-used parts like bumpers, doors, and hoods is more than a hobby — it’s a way to own a piece of the action. The sight of a fan carrying a door, fender, or even a hood through the crowd always grabs attention, often sparking questions from fellow fans like, “What race is that from?” or “Was that scratch from the incident?”
That’s why the Erik Jones Foundation is thrilled to offer a true collector’s gem: the front bumper from Erik’s #43 car raced at Talladega, signed by both Erik and team owner Jimmie Johnson. This isn’t a replica — it’s the real deal, complete with track-earned wear and tear, and available through a limited-time raffle running throughout August.
Raffle tickets are $5 each and will be available at two Michigan races — Berlin Raceway on August 13 and Owosso Speedway on August 20.
Tickets are available for sale at:
The Dam Twist in Downtown Byron
Blackmore and Rowe Insurance in Downtown Byron
Erik Jones Foundation Office in Downtown Flint (Tuesdays & Fridays in August)
More locations to come!
We’re also looking for volunteers across Michigan to help sell tickets throughout the month. If you’re interested in helping, please contact Brent Nickola at [email protected] for more information.
Best of all? Every ticket sold helps fuel our mission in childhood literacy, early cancer detection and care, and animal welfare.
