Milwaukee, WI – July 29, 2008 - Paul Davis Restoration and Remodeling of Southeast
Wisconsin owner Dan Druml announced today that his company has joined NASCAR racing as primary
sponsor for an up-and-coming team. According to Druml, his company will sponsor the Wisconsin-based
team of driver Derek Thorn and the Paul Davis Restoration/ALS Ford in the NASCAR Camping World
Series East. The Paul Davis Restoration/ALS Ford team is owned by Shawn Keep and managed by Scott
Pfeiffer who is also the founder of “Racin’ for a Cure”, a Sun Prairie, WI -based non-profit organization
that raises funds for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a degenerative disease often referred to as "Lou
Gehrig's Disease”.
“Providing support to Scott and ALS is at the heart of our core values as a company and falls in
line with the other organizations we support through the Paul Davis Charitable Foundation. We are pleased
to add ‘Racin for a Cure’ to our list of benefactors that include the Ronald McDonald House and the
Firefighter Combat Challenge,” said Druml.
During a successful 2007 race season Pfeiffer was diagnosed with ALS. “It was devastating to
say the least,” said Pfeiffer. We decided to put together a business plan to raise awareness and funds for
another team and ALS research. Without start up money to fund any races, I turned to longtime friend and
successful Wisconsin businessman Shawn Keep,” he said. “After I explained the situation to Shawn and
presented our business plan, he had the perfect answer, ‘now we have a reason to race’,” said Pfeiffer.
Recently, Paul Davis Restoration and Remodeling of Southeast Wisconsin helped Pfeiffer, 42, and
his cause-related organization with donated home remodeling and restorations as part of the company’s
annual Paul Davis Restoring America property improvement initiative.
Thorn and Keep met with Druml during the renovation project at Scott’s home, which included
construction of accessible areas and ramps in the house and yard. “We immediately saw an opportunity to
team with Paul Davis Restoration to promote an industry leading, service oriented company by partnering
with our team. We think it’s a great partnership, and one we can build on. We’re looking at our race
schedule this year as a way to help build a solid foundation in Racin’ for a Cure,” Thorn said.
“Our goal is simple,” said Pfeiffer. “We are here to raise awareness and research funds for an
awful disease called ALS. Right now, there is no cure for ALS and every 90 minutes someone is diagnosed with the disease and every 90 minutes someone dies from it. I know there probably won't be a cure for the
disease in my lifetime, but this is for all of the families to follow that are affected by ALS,” he said. “We
are excited to have Paul Davis Restoration partnered with ‘Racin' for a Cure’, and hope to build on this
relationship for the future. I would like to thank Paul Davis Restoration for all that they have done,” said
Pfeiffer.
According to Pfeiffer, the team has a bright future with a promising young driver. Derrick Thorn
began racing go-carts as a youngster in California and advanced through the ranks. While in California,
Thorn and Pfeiffer met and became close friends. Now as Thorn’s general manager, Pfeiffer sees Thorn as
a leading 2008 rookie in one of NASCAR’s most popular driver development series, the NASCAR
Camping World Series East. NASCAR national series teams with development programs in the NASCAR
Camping World Series East include Joe Gibbs Racing, Dale Earnhardt, Inc., Richard Childress Racing and
Ken Schrader Racing.
The team recently finished fifth at the Strutmasters.com 150, which was presented by General
Dollar at Music City Motorplex, Tennessee State Fairgrounds. The Nashville race will air on Speed
Channel on Wednesday July 30th at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The series will run through Sept. 28 and will
be televised live on HDNET with replays on SPEED Channel.
