The aaa Auto Salvage race team of Mike Mechevich, Charlie Pearson, Tracy Jones, and Brandon Jahnz, was short handed with only 4 racers but had the highest place finish in company history at the AASP-MN race for Education. The race is the AASP Education Fund’s major fundraiser of the year and in 2011 the race raised over $6000, with 2 races on January 18th and 19th at Pro-Kart Race track in Burnsville, MN.

"This event has become one of the most popular in the Association," said Judell Anderson, AASP-MN Executive Director. "I'm very impressed with the level of support, participation and enthusiasm that AASP-MN members devote to this event and to the cause of automotive education," she added.
