The Metal Mulisha and NASCAR teamed up to put on a demo/fundraiser for Jeremy Lusk
at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA this past weekend. Derek Garland, Jimmy Fitzpatrick,
Wes Agee, and Taka Higashino rode three demos on Sunday for the excited NASCAR fans and
they spent a lot of time interacting with the fans and signing autographs. Brian Deegan, Todd Potter,
Colin Morrison, Ryan Hagy and even Lauren Lusk were also on hand to show their support the great cause.
The outreach and support for Lauren was huge.
The fans barged the cement barriers to watch the FMX action go down. An FMX demo is not
something NASCAR enthusiasts would normally get to see at a race, so you can imagine just how
pumped they were to see the Mulisha invading their airspace. It was amazing to see such
an overwhelmingly positive response from fans of another sport. There were even a bunch of
Jeremy Lusk t-shirts in the crowd. Jeremy impacted so many people's
lives in a positive way — even those who weren't diehard moto fans.
The Metal Mulisha merchandise was flying off the racks making it hard for the
volunteers to keep up with the high demand for t-shirts, Lusk wristbands and Lusk stickers.
By the end of the last demo almost all the product was sold out. NASCAR stepped up huge and
donated VIP suite passes to be auctioned off online for fans to have the ultimate Mulisha/NASCAR
experience. All the proceeds from the sales of the suites and merchandise went to the
Jeremy Lusk Trust Fund. Once the race started, Deegan and the boys met with the lucky
winners of the suite auctions to sign autographs and take pictures.
The event was a great success and raised a lot of money for the Lusk Trust Fund.
You can still get your Lusk tribute stickers from the Metal Mulisha Store.
