Elwood, Indiana (January 11, 2018): There’s nothing better in racing than being able to root for your own race car. With this in mind, the Elwood C.A.R.E.S. organization has teamed up with former Pay Less Little 500 presented by UAW-GM champion race team owner, Jason Goacher. Goacher Racing will be fielding a second entry for the 70th Pay Less Little 500 presented by UAW-GM at Anderson Speedway on May 26, 2018.

Briscoe currently drives for Roush Fenway Racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. The Goacher Racing/Elwood C.A.R.E.S. 7G will be known as “Heart of Hoosierland Special”.

Todd Jones, Mayor of Elwood, Indiana stated “I see this as a great opportunity to showcase our community to the country. With this being the largest single day sporting event in Madison County, it is an honor to root for a car and driver representing the great businesses of our city”.
