Baldwin Park, CA (July 11, 2011) - Position One Motorsports had the honor of hosting Retired Army Sergeant Eddie Gallardo and his guests at the King Taco suites this past Saturday. Ret. Sgt. Gallardo was the team’s Giving Thanks to a Hero winner and he and his guests were treated to incredible on-track racing action for their first time visit at the Toyota Speedway at Irwindale. While in the suites the guests were treated to catered food and arguably one of the best views that you could have at the track. The smiles on their faces made it evident that they were enjoying themselves thoroughly.
Ret. Sgt. Gallardo was drafted into the Vietnam War and served his country from 1970 – 1971. While in Vietnam he, as many of his fellow soldiers, saw brutal and relentless combat and after serving his country he came home to an unceremonious welcome. Position One Motorsports was happy to welcome him and his guests and show our sincere appreciation to him and his family for their service and their sacrifice.
