RANDY BATEMAN BENEFIT SCAVENGER RACE, AUCTION & DINNER TO BE HELD NOV. 5 IN MURPHYSBORO, IL

Throughout his three-plus-decade career as a USAC Silver Crown driver and owner, Randy Bateman has fiercely battled the competition in his familiar number 55.

Sadly, in recent times, Randy has had to endure the biggest battle of life after being diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), commonly referred to as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease.”

Now is your chance to support Randy and his wife, Patty.

On Saturday, November 5, 2016, a benefit to raise money for the popular driver and his family wil be held, including a scavenger race, live music, a quilt raffle, silent auction and a spaghetti dinner.
