Driver Rick Verberne wins the Demar Aggregate Truck Series Championship with a truck covered in signatures for a good cause.
OTTERVILLE - The Thames Valley Children's Centre will be getting a nice cheque from an Otterville man who raced for a great cause this season at the Delaware Speedway.
Since the start of the season Rick Verberne with Otterville Motors was collecting donations in exchange for signatures on his truck. It didn't take long for the truck to fill up. Verberne tells Heart FM how he got involved with the project.
"Originally we had went to the Teddy Bear Picnic at the Children's Centre and I met Jennifer Baxter and she had the idea for the signature truck. So we put the idea together for the signature truck and started it at the beginning of the season."
Verberne says it was a great season and the good karma paid off as he won the Demar Aggregate Truck Series Championship at Delaware Speedway. He tells Heart FM they had a lot of signatures by the end of the season.
"It was roughly about 200 signatures on the truck, it was a minimum of a $2 donation and a lot of families donated $20 and signed all of their names on it, very few actually only made the minimum donation. It went fairly well."
They are still tallying up the numbers however they did raise over $1,400 this summer for the Children's Centre.
