KANSAS CITY , Mo. – Straight from the heart of NASCAR, the mission of “NASCAR Angels” is to find deserving people, share their stories and fix their cars in a show that celebrates the best in all of us. It’s “Pimp My Ride” meets “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition”- NASCAR Style.
Next week’s episode, which airs the week of Oct. 27 on broadcast stations, and again at 8 a.m. Nov. 9 on the Hallmark Channel, features Katy Fuller of Kansas City, a teenager who suffers from Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), who inspired “NASCAR Angels” to give her family a transportation fix.
Katy’s only successful response to treatment has been riding horses, allowing her to regain control over her body when conventional therapies failed. The Fuller’s 1996 Grand Marquis, used for transporting family members to volunteer events and Katy’s therapeutic horseback riding lessons, had more than 130,000 miles and a laundry list of issues from broken windows to extensive hail and body damage. With money tight, repairs don’t get made. The “NASCAR Angels” teamed up with CARSTAR Collision Centers in Overland Park , Kan. and others to restore the family’s car.
Rusty Wallace, former NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion and current ABC/ESPN broadcaster, and Shannon Wiseman, NASCAR.COM talent host the weekly show. Top NASCAR drivers such as Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson make regular appearances to help the NASCAR Angels make repairs. Full episodes are currently available on NASCAR.com.
