The Horsepower Hero day will see sponsorship money from the eight race card go to Richards to assist in his fight against a rare form of cancer. The day's main race will be named in Jason's honour. Many of Australia's top V8 Supercar drivers and team owners will join the day which will also feature a special VIP lunch in the Sandown Committee Room. The day was the brainchild of Sandown General Manager, and Jason's fellow Kiwi ex-pat, Wade Calderwood. "I came up with the idea after reading an article about Jase’s response when interviewed following his courageous 2nd at Albert Park in the V8 event. By donating a horse race meeting I felt sponsors would get additional value for their generosity, above and beyond the knowledge they are supporting a great bloke in a time of need." With the assistance of Brad Jones Racing Media Manager, Lucy Peacock and fellow driver John Bowe, the meeting was put together in a few weeks. "We’ve successfully sold all 8 races, including one we donated to the Bid4Jase website" Mr Calderwood said. Sponsors include: Fujitsu General, Telstra, Wilson Security & Pace, Norton 360, Apex Construction, & Jack Daniels/Kelly Racing. V8 Supercar fans are also invited to take part in the event with a limited number of VIP tickets still available for the lunch and cheque presentation to Jason. The event will include full cocktail style hospitality, including meal, drinks and entertainment in Sandown’s Committee Room. Ticket's are available at $200 for your chance to mingle with your V8 heroes and help out a great driver and a top class bloke in a time of need.

Located less than five minutes from the world famous Phillip Island Grand Prix circuit, All Seasons Phillip Island Resort has been a major supporter of both In Pit Lane and grassroots motorsport in Victoria. Brett Ramsey, Host and Producer of In Pit Lane, said the continuing support of the resort was a huge boost for both the show and the local motorsport community. "Our relationship with the All Seasons Phillip Island Resort has been a huge assistance in our coverage of local motorsport." said Brett. Thanks to the support of the All Seasons Resort, the costs of covering events like The Victorian State Circuit Racing Championships is cut considerably. Apart from assisting with the coverage, the weekend at the Resort is also a great added reward for In Pit Lane's hard working all volunteer crew. "Many members of our crew are students and the cost of going down to the Island and finding accommodation is prohibitive," said Brett. "Now it's much easier to get crew to the Island and it's also a great way to say thanks for all the hours of hard unpaid work."
