Russian Machine Never Brakes: Help Caps Fan Ryan Ellis Race in the Drive Sober 200

If you’ve been part of the RMNB family for very long, you’ve probably heard of Ryan Ellis.

Ryan is a big Caps fan and an avid RMNB reader. He’s also a stock car driver who made his debut in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series last fall, when he made RMNB the first hockey blog ever to sponsor a NASCAR.

As a NASCAR driver, Ryan’s responsible for raising the (very large sums of) money he needs to get a car into every single race. He really wants to race in the Xfinity Series Drive Sober 200 at Dover International Speedway in Delaware October 1, but needs some help from the RMNB family to get him to the fundraising finish line.

That’s where you come in.

We’re trying to help him raise the last $8,888 he needs to race on October 1, and we’re inviting the RMNB family to pitch in.

We’ve worked with Ryan to put together some really cool incentives to say thanks. They include getting your name on the car he’ll drive in the race, a limited-edition t-shirt, pit passes, and other cool stuff. If you’re a small business, there are also opportunities to get your logo on the car, and even to sponsor RMNB for a month.

We’re also hosting the First Annual RMNB Floor Hockey Tournament on Saturday, Sept. 24, to raise funds. A $40 donation will get you a spot on one of the 8 teams in the tournament. Read more about the details over at Ian’s post.

You can read more about the campaign and all the perks at our fundraising page on Indiegogo.
