JE Reel Driveline sponsors OMYF Educational Program
Bringing the Thrill of Off-Road Racing to Young People
JE Reel Drivelines is proud to announce its partnership with Off-Road Motorsports Youth Foundation (OMYF) in sponsoring an off-road motorsport program for youth. Through this sponsorship, JE Reel will provide driveshafts and mentorship to participants of the OMYF program. The goal of this program is to create an educational program that teaches children about safety, principles of mechanics, and the importance of teamwork while also having fun. The OMYF program will include a fully functional team that will race in the Baja 1000 in the trophy truck class, providing a pathway to a fun and rewarding career in offroad motorsports.

Off-Road Motorsports Youth Foundation (OMYF) is a nonprofit organization and desert race team based in Evansville, IN. OMYF is led by founder, cancer survivor and motorsports enthusiast, Preston Lewis. His mission is to give more young people, like him, who have been affected by unfortunate life circumstances an opportunity to learn, grow, and connect within the motorsports industry. There are currently 8 participants in the program but the goal is to have at least 20-25 youth involved in the team. Every team needs coaches and mentors, so JE Reel and OMYF are looking for industry professionals from all walks of life to teach the youth in the following areas.
