Encino, CA - Feb 16, 2007 In an effort to promote race fan support for deployed U.S. service members, NASCAR Busch East Series Racing Team, Jamerson Motorsports #84, has teamed- up with Operation Gratitude to create the first-ever cause-branded racing team. This season, Team Jamerson will host Operation Gratitude Wish List Collection Drives at many retail locations throughout the country as part of their 2007 “Let Freedom Roar Tour” -- Show Car Fan Experience.

“We are thrilled that Jamerson Motorsports has embraced our mission of putting smiles on service members’ faces,” said Carolyn Blashek, founder of Operation Gratitude. “The 2007 “Let Freedom Roar Tour” will enable all race car fans to express their appreciation to our troops by donating Wish List items, writing letters and purchasing branded items, the proceeds of which will be used to ship our care packages overseas,” she added.

Adam Freeman, President of Advertising Systems, Inc. (ASI), which forged this alliance, stated, “We created this first-ever, cause-branded event tour as an innovative way to bring together NASCAR fans, our promotional partners and a great cause. When Jamerson said his team was “Driven to Make a Difference,” we sought out a non-profit organization that was making an impact on our national heroes who make a difference. The Operation Gratitude-Let Freedom Roar 84 Tour was the perfect fit.”
