Making People Aware

The Jeff Russell Special is part of SUPRS Winter Western Swing. It is the goal of SUPRS to help people remember that Russell, a native of Boise, ID,  continues to heal from injuries incurred during the last practice session for the Supermodified Racing Association, (SMRA)”Night of Fire” event at The Bullring in Las Vegas, NV on October 30, 2010.

Jeff continues to recover from Traumatic Brain Injury and has fought hard to learn how to walk, talk, and function normally since his accident. His battle is not over, and probably never will be, but with his dogged determination and the never-ending support of his family, he has come further than many ever believed he could.

The nearly eight year years of medical bills have been hard on his family, but you can help. During the race and from March 6 to March 13, 2018, all donations to the Dion Parish Memorial Benevolent Fund for Supermodifieds are going to be sent to the Jeff Russell Road to Recovery Fund.
