Since 1959, AACF has quietly provided financial assistance to individuals and families within the automotive aftermarket facing life\u2019s toughest challenges\u2014from illness and injury to natural disasters and unexpected hardship. With a fast and efficient process, they\u2019re able to step in quickly and help people get back on their feet when it matters most. What makes AACF truly special is its focus on community\u2014helping the very people who keep the aftermarket moving every day. From technicians and warehouse workers to managers and corporate employees, AACF serves as a vital support system across the entire industry. This conversation highlights not only the organization\u2019s mission, but also the real stories behind it, reminding us that at the heart of every build, every business, and every part is a person\u2014and sometimes, that person needs help. ======================================== Dallas Kibbe Racing Update!
