Ameriquest Mortgage partners with Red Cross

American Red Cross to be on-site to accept donations at Ameriquest 300

Orange, Calif -- Ameriquest Mortgage Company announced Friday that it is partnering with the American Red Cross to collect disaster relief donations during the Ameriquest 300, this Saturday's NASCAR Busch Series race at California Speedway on NBC at 8:30 p.m. ET. All donations will assist the massive relief effort of the American Red Cross benefiting the tens of thousands of people and families whose lives have been ravaged by Hurricane Katrina.

Ameriquest Mortgage Company is the title sponsor of the Ameriquest 300 at California Speedway.

"We have to recognize that while the Ameriquest 300 is an exciting and spectacular event, a genuine human tragedy is unfolding along the Gulf Coast," said Brian Woods, Ameriquest Executive. "The South is the birthplace of NASCAR. It's appropriate that the Ameriquest 300 be an event that makes a significant contribution toward restoring the lives of thousands of people who love this sport."

Four donation centers will be open at California Speedway to accept financial donations during the entire race weekend from Friday, September 2-Sunday, September 4. Ameriquest will match NASCAR fan's contributions made during the Ameriquest 300 at California Speedway to support this relief effort.
