Presented by ACDelco & JI Parts Express Week 7 Results
Saturday, August 2 2008
A BIG THANK YOU is in order to Randy Patterson, Anthony Bivins, Kevin Scott, and Kelly Branegan & Eric Huhn/AMS team for all of their help at the 8/1/08 JI Hospitality Night! Although a small crew to handle all of those customers, I don't think it could have turned out any better. Also, thanks to Bobby Dickson, Alex Horn, Jamie Boxerman, Kay Mitchell and the rest of the JI associates that came out to support us! Thanks again.
Look at the JI Parts Express Kodak Photo Gallery of the night!
