Boasting 35” tires and a 7” lift, the Freedom Ford is an imposing presence and a patriotic tribute to the hard-earned liberty we enjoy in the United States thanks to the vigilance and sacrifices of our most courageous citizens.

W.O.W. Award Recognizes Consistent, Demonstrated Excellence

September 2, 2016 (JOHNSON CITY, Tenn.) — The AAM Group™, the largest program distribution group in the SEMA marketplace, has named Marketing and Merchandising Specialist Donnie Hurt as the organization’s 2016 Employee of the Year and recipient of the W.O.W. Award. Hurt, who transitioned to AAM’s marketing team last year from PerformanceParts.com, has quickly become an integral part of AAM’s expanded suite of services, notably as email marketing lead and architect of the AAM Sign Shop™, which provides deeply discounted signage and display elements to program retailers and installers.

Given annually to the AAM Group™ employee who best exemplifies the qualities of commitment, creativity, initiative, and resourcefulness, the W.O.W. Award is named after Wilbur and Orville Wright, who embodied many of those same traits in their dogged pursuit to realize the world’s first successful controlled airplane flight.

“We are very pleased to have given this well-deserved honor to Donnie,” said AAM President Tim Odom. “He has embraced every responsibility he’s been given and not just done them well, but also meaningfully contributed to making the resources and services in which he is involved better. He well represents AAM’s team spirit, drive for excellence, and commitment to meeting the needs of our stakeholders. In the past year Donnie’s contributions have made AAM a better organization.”

Kingsport Speedway Event Saw Ronnie McCarty Capture His Fourth Win of the Season

AAM Group™ President Tim Odom had the honor of dropping the green flag on the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series late model stock car event held Friday, August 12 in Kingsport, Tennessee. The race additionally honored the late Gene Glover, winner of the 1979 NASCAR Late Model Sportsman national championship and the all-time title holder at the Kingsport Speedway.

Odom, who waived the flag for NASCAR official and AAM Program Sales Manager Jerry Simpson, got the 18-car field going on Back to School night, which saw children receive NASCAR Acceleration Nation school supplies. Defending champion Ronnie McCarty outmaneuvered a game field in his #5 car to pick up his fourth win of the season, followed in the final standings by Zeke Shell, Robbie Ferguson, Wayne Hale, and Justin Fontaine.

“I had a blast dropping the flag,” said Odom. “It’s a great feeling to be that near a pack of high-powered cars getting up to speed. Jerry taught me a great deal about the role of a flag person in a race, and I gained a great appreciation for all that figure does to contribute to fair competition, safety, and a better experience for the fans.”

Trucks Also to Benefit SEMA Cares Charities through Pinewood Drag Race Event

The AAM Group™, the largest program distribution group in the SEMA marketplace, bought and built three pinewood derby trucks to benefit the SEMA Cares charitable organization. The trucks, each sponsored by one of AAM’s retail marketing programs, were raced alongside other entrants in the Pinewood Derby that was held directly before the SEMA Installation Banquet & Gala Fundraiser last Friday in Pomona, Calif.

In a special tie-in, AAM dedicated each of the trucks to one of this year’s three new SEMA Hall of Fame inductees: Matt Agosta, Chip Foose, and Gary Hooker. The truck numbers—07, 29, and 16—commemorated the date of the event. Agosta, Foose, and Hooker were on hand to run their trucks down the track, and were presented with them afterward to additionally recognize their contributions to the industry.

“AAM has long supported the SEMA Pinewood Derby and the charities it benefits,” said AAM President Tim Odom. “This year we saw a great opportunity to use our cars to further recognize some of our industry’s heroes on our cars, as the derby coincides with their recognition. We had a great deal of fun with the design and build and hope the cars added a little color to the event.”

Special Markets and Program Sales Manager Greg Griffith and his son, Adam, will be representing The AAM Group™ at the premiere 36 Hours of Uwharrie event being contested in Troy, North Carolina. Fans can follow the action on Twitter (#driverenough) and Facebook (/36uwharrie).

Starting today and running through August 14, the BFGoodrich-sponsored overland endurance event tests the skills of competitors as they attempt to negotiate difficult terrain, navigate to specific GPS coordinates, and complete a variety of skill-based objectives. These two-person challenges—which include canoeing, shooting, self-recovery winching, Hi-Lift Jacks, and more—earn points that can push participants through to the Final Assault. Prize packages include BFGoodrich tires, event-engraved firearms, and winches.

“AAM is proud of Greg and his involvement in this very challenging four-wheel-drive event,” said AAM President Tim Odom. “He and Adam embody our many retailers in the 4×4 market as well as their customers, who depend on the very best aftermarket accessories to help them meet their backcountry challenges. Greg’s passion for all things off-road has earned him the respect of our membership and our vendor community. The AAM community will be cheering on the Griffiths this weekend.”
