Monster trophy finds its way to one special Carl Edwards fan in New York
DOVER, Del. — David Glatter is more than just your average Carl Edwards fan.
He’s a fan and personal friend of the driver who captured the monster trophy in
the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Dover International Speedway on Sept. 23,
2007. That same trophy is now proudly displayed at the Cerebral Palsy of
Westchester (CPW) in Rye Brook, N.Y., courtesy of a generous donation by Glatter
and Edwards, and a special delivery made by Dover officials.
On Wed., Dec. 5, Dover staff members made their way to CPW’s facility in the
track’s Dodge pace car to deliver the autographed trophy to Glatter, a disabled
23-year-old resident of Yonkers, N.Y. More than 50 friends, family and staff
gathered at CPW’s facility to witness Glatter’s donation of the trophy to the
organization that he loves. At the assembly, Glatter spoke to those in
attendance about what the trophy means to him and how proud he is to present
this new source of inspiration for CPW visitors.
After numerous photographs with the monster trophy, Glatter took a victory lap
around CPW’s facility in the Dover pace car – a thrill of a lifetime for this
lifelong NASCAR fan with a monster-sized heart.
The story of David Glatter and Carl Edwards’ friendship is a remarkable one.
Glatter first met Edwards in the garage area at Pocono prior to a race in 2005.
After a brief chat, Edwards was inspired and promised that if he won the race,
he would give Glatter the winner’s trophy.
Edwards won, and the trophy now sits proudly on the mantle in the Glatter home.
Since that race, the two have become friends and cross paths regularly at events
that Glatter attends. This September at New Hampshire, the two met again, and
all Glatter spoke about was his volunteer job with Cerebral Palsy of
Westchester. Glatter has participated in CPW’s Home Service Program, and just
this year began volunteering weekly at CPW in order to give back to the agency
that has done so much for him.
Edwards wanted to help Glatter show CPW his appreciation for the volunteer job
and together they decided that the next time Edwards won, he would give Glatter
his trophy to donate to CPW.
Again, he didn’t have to wait long. Edwards won the next week at Dover, and
delivered on his promise.

NASCAR Busch East Series champion Joey Logano announces his NASCAR Nationwide
Series debut to come at Dover on May 31, 2008
DOVER, Del. - Joey Logano, the 2007 NASCAR Busch East Series champion and winner
of the NASCAR Toyota All-Star Showdown at Irwindale Speedway, revealed this
past weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway that he'll make his debut in the NASCAR
Nationwide Series on May 31, 2008 at Dover International Speedway. The Joe Gibbs
Racing driver will make his first career NASCAR Nationwide Series start just one
week after turning 18, the minimum age required by NASCAR to compete in any of
its three national touring series'.
Tagged as "the real deal" by NASCAR veteran and four-time Dover winner Mark
Martin, Logano clinched the NASCAR Busch East Series crown at the Monster Mile
on Sept. 21, 2007, and by doing so became the series' first rookie champion and
its youngest since the series' inception in 1989. It capped off a highly
successful season that saw Logano set the regional racing world on fire. He
scored seven wins in 2007, including five in the NASCAR Busch East Series, one
in the NASCAR Grand National West Series, and most recently on Oct. 20, 2007 at
the NASCAR Toyota All-Star Showdown which features top drivers from both the
East and West Series.
"Joey Logano proved this season that he has the natural talent and drive to
become a NASCAR champion," said Gary Camp, director of public relations for
Dover International Speedway. "We're looking forward to Joey's highly
anticipated debut at Dover in June and I'm sure it'll only be a matter of time
before we see him in Victory Lane in the NASCAR Nationwide Series."
Logano signed with Joe Gibbs Racing in 2005, and just days after turning 15,
made his debut in the USAR Hooters Pro Cup Series. Less than a month later on
June 11, Logano scored his first Hooters Pro Cup win at Mansfield Motorsports
Park. The 2006 season saw continued success in Hooters Pro Cup, with Logano
winning two races and a pole en route to a solid fifth-place finish in the
Southern Division point standings. It was a precursor to the success Logano
would attain in 2007.
Also introduced this past weekend was a line of Logano merchandise with
Motorsports Authentics that will include a running clock on their website,
www.goracing.com. The countdown
allows fans to follow the days, hours and minutes until Logano's NASCAR
Nationwide Series debut at the Monster Mile.
Tickets are now on sale for the June 1, 2008 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, May 31,
2008 NASCAR Nationwide Series and May 30, 2008 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series
races at the Monster Mile. Dover continues to offer event ticket insurance for
all events, along with an array of ticket options including special 3-day
ticket packages, all-inclusive hospitality packages, early-buy discounts, and a
variety of payment plans. For more information or to purchase tickets, call
