William Cox III Signs with JR Motorsports Late Model Team

RALEIGH, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Young racing prodigy, William Cox III will put his talents to the test with JR Motorsports' championship-winning Late Model team for 2021, while collaborating with 2020 NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series champion Josh Berry.

Cox, a resident of Raleigh, North Carolina, is poised to compete in his first full-time Late Model season. At the astonishing age of 15 he is joining a program with an impressive list of drivers including Anthony Alfredo, William Byron, Christian Eckes, Sam Mayer, and others. He will also be a member of the Chevrolet Driver's Edge Development team for 2021.

Rising quickly through karting and U.S. Legend Car ranks, Cox has arrived at JR Motorsports. A dream he's had since his first brush with speed, when as a small boy he attended a sports car race at Virginia International Raceway with his father. Subsequently after discovering a love for racing he began driving go-karts following a test at GoPro Motorplex in Mooresville, N.C. Competing in the local karting ranks the following year, Cox expanded into the national touring groups in the United States and Canada. After competing three road races, he earned his SCCA license in 2019.

"This is amazing, and I cannot thank JR Motorsports enough for choosing me for such an awesome opportunity," Cox commented. "It's going to allow me to bring my performance up to another level because now I have such great equipment. Instead of it being about relying only on the equipment, I can now focus on improving myself as a driver and enhancing my abilities."

Cox will be working alongside veteran driver, teammate, and mentor Josh Berry, who served as one of his instructors during the Late Model test at Hickory Speedway in North Carolina last season.

"He's got so much experience and has accomplished so much," Cox said of Berry. "With him having helped me from day one, now that he's my teammate, I have a great coach standing beside me."

"I've been around a lot of talented drivers in my career and William is certainly going to turn heads and make statements," offered Chad Bryant, owner of Chad Bryant Racing where Cox formerly competed, "We're proud of his success and look forward to seeing him strengthen his resume not only next year, but down the road, too."

Cox shifted to U.S. Legend Car racing to begin training on ovals on the advice of driver development manager Lorin Ranier. While competing in the Young Lions division around the Southeast, Cox led all 30 laps of the U.S. Legend Car Nationals championship race at Carteret County Speedway in North Carolina to earn the Young Lions national championship. Shortly after that Cox was leading the World Road Course Finals in Atlanta but ultimately finished third due to contact with another competitor. Last season, Cox moved up to the U.S. Legend Car Pro Series and planned a full season but was unfortunately derailed by the coronavirus restrictions.

In April, he tested a Late Model Stock Car at Hickory (N.C.) Motor Speedway. Upon his 15th birthday, Cox competed in the Carolina Pro Late Model Series, moving up to Late Model Stock Car competition following his first victory in July. Cox made his first CARS Racing Tour start in July at Hickory, finishing on the lead lap in 15th.

During his down time, when not racing, William Cox attends online classes through Liberty University's Online Academy.

Cox continues to be a force to be reckoned with, as he is considered one of the youngest rising stars on the track, yet maneuvering himself as a solid racing veteran.

Teenage sensation William Cox wins Fall Classic 2020

RALEIGH, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- 15-year-old William Cox of Chad Bryant Racing is continuing his own personal tradition of excellence in auto racing after recently winning the Fall Classic season finale at Orange County (N.C.) Speedway on Oct. 24, 2020.

Battling the best of the best in the region, Cox was able to dominate the night in his Chad Bryant Racing Late Model at the 3/8-mile asphalt oval. Despite qualifying sixth, Cox was able to quickly head to the front and take control of the event early and never look back, leading the most laps in the 75-lap Late Model division race.

"This was a huge win for me and the Chad Bryant Racing team," said Cox. "My goal is to keep winning and my dream to make it all the way to the NASCAR Cup Series. I've had the opportunity to work with some of the best coaches in the motorsports industry and I'm truly blessed for their guidance not only this weekend but their support over these last few years."

Under the leadership of team owner Chad Bryant, Cox was able to put on a clinic in his second race with the Mooresville, N.C. team. The 2016 ARCA Menards Series championship team was able to build on their debut together at Southern National (N.C.) Motorsports Park and accelerate the results quickly by hoisting a trophy.

"I've been around a lot of talented drivers in my career and William is certainly going to turn heads and make statements," offered Bryant. "We're proud of his success at Orange County and look forward to seeing him strengthen his resume not only next year, but down the road too."

Earlier this year after spending three years of competing in Karts, Mazda Miatas and Legends Cars, Cox was presented with the next challenge in his racing endeavor - the chance to begin testing a Late Model Stock.

Following a successful test and with a dedicated crew behind him, Cox took the next step in his Motorsports path and left his success in the Legends Car behind.

At the tenure age of 15, it didn't take long for people to notice the talent of Cox behind the wheel of a Late Model.

By June, he joined the Carolina Pro Model Series with DLP Motorsports and running a limited schedule with Dexter Canipe of 3D Motorsports. A month later he was in Victory Lane at the historic Tri-County Speedway.

Since the win, he has continued to hone his skills at the legendary Hickory (N.C.) Motor Speedway - battling some of the best Late Model drivers in the country, adding crucial laps behind the wheel to his growing resume.

Touted as one of the youngest rising stars on track with the driving style of an experience veteran, Cox is certain to continue to attract attention entering the next phase of competition in the CARS Tour in 2021.

Unlikely North Carolina Companies Partner Together to Produce Reusable Masks

RALEIGH, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- EHOP Health(R), a chronic disease reversal company headquartered in Apex, NC and Harriss & Covington, a hosiery mill headquartered in High Point, NC, recently delivered reusable face masks to customers across North Carolina and the United States. The first business to receive the reusable masks was Weaver Street Market.

This unlikely partnership between health coaching, manufacturing, and grocery store firms produced the new face mask brand, Easy Masks(TM).

These non-medical face masks serve the needs of employees, customers, families, and individuals who need protection for their essential trips.

"Our first client, and a fifth-generation family business that has been knitting socks in High Point, North Carolina for 100 years, instantly came to my mind as having the potential to create a comfortable, reusable facemask."

Harriss & Covington's Co-President, Tyler Covington had just been ordered to shut down his manufacturing plant's non-essential activities due to the COVID-19 health pandemic. After speaking with Lawson, he recruited a small research and development team to prototype several face masks. "I wanted to help our state, and our country, safely get back to work," said Covington. "I believed we could find a solution for the growing demand of reusable face masks and through collaboration we have a face mask for the everyday essential needs."

Thanks to iterative feedback from associates of Weaver Street Market, another EHOP Health Client, the team quickly found out what features were required for a mask comfortable enough for all-day wear. "This has been a godsend," stated Ruffin Slater General Manager, Weaver Street Market. "We needed a protective mask to offer to our frontline employees and customers, and we wanted a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution which Easy Masks delivers."

Scopedive Launches and Disrupts Cyber Security Talent Market

RALEIGH, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Scopedive, Inc. announces the official launch of its novel cyber security talent marketplace, matching top cyber security freelancers and consulting firms with businesses for any cyber security or compliance project scope.

Scopedive directly addresses the growing cyber security skills gap, so businesses can tackle their most pressing security and compliance needs quickly, remotely, and at rates averaging 40 percent less than large consulting firms and staffing agencies.

All Scopedive consultants and freelancers are vetted, U.S.-based cyber security professionals who complete projects using Scopedive's custom, secure remote access solution, Scopedive Islands. Islands make remote cyber security work more attractive and possible than ever before, by ensuring confidentiality and integrity during remote engagements and a complete process audit trail.

While its business model is focused on saving time and money for small to medium-sized businesses, large businesses with greater budgets can benefit too.

"Our innovative model is disrupting the traditional incident response market in particular, which typically requires retainers of $50,000 or more," co-founder, Katelyn Ilkani, says. "Every Scopedive membership, which starts at $199 per month paid annually, comes with access to incident response experts who can be mobilized at a moment's notice with hourly rates that are significantly less than big firms."

The company is offering a free trial - the first month of basic membership is on them. Businesses with less than 100 employees and start-ups can also apply for Scopedive's grant program, which offers membership discounts from 50 percent to 90 percent for up to three-years. It's always free for cyber security experts to join.

This Valentine’s, Experience Paris in a ‘Novel’ Way

RALEIGH, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- With Valentine's Day around the corner, how does a romantic trip to Paris with your lover sound? If the bank account isn't quite up to that dream getaway, YourNovel.com offers an armchair escape to the City of Love, where you and your sweetheart become the hero and heroine of your own personalized romance novel.

Lover's Paradise: Paris features three short stories, all set in the City of Lights, so any starring couple can enjoy three distinctly different Parisian experiences:

* New to YourNovel.com, author Spontak delivers a sizzling, surreal trip full of daring escapades throughout the city in "Paris Made Me Do It."

* "Destiny in Paris," by fiction writing veteran Marcy Thomas, centers on a plan of passion to ignite the starring couple's desires, letting them fall deeper in love with each other as well as with the city.

* Lori Pepio, grand prize winner in a previous romance-writing contest for YourNovel.com, penned "Beyond the City of Lights," which incorporates a masquerade ball and mysterious stranger to explore where love and fantasy meet.

YourNovel.com founders J.S. Fletcher and Kathy M. Newbern, who write as Fletcher Newbern, note that part of the fun of their nearly three decades in business has been helping aspiring writers achieve their goal of publication.

This is Spontak's first foray into the romance novel genre. "Working with her has been a dream," said Newbern. "Not only does she write fiction and screenplays, she has her own production company, Spontak Entertainment."

From Raleigh, N.C., originally, Spontak's impressive background includes visiting nearly 30 countries and living in 11 of them, including France. Upon graduating from the University of San Diego, she taught English for two years in South Korea. The opportunity for graduate school at the University of Kent in England lured Spontak away; there she earned an MFA in Creative Writing. She currently teaches English online for DaDaABC for all ages as she continues to travel. Her next adventure is in the Philippines - teaching screenwriting at both Siliman University and Foundation University. Her long-term goal is to become an iconic filmmaker and take a place in history next to Spielberg and Scorsese. And yes, she is a (hopeful) romantic.

The Paris book is one of more than 50 romantic adventure novels personalizable from YourNovel.com, in settings like in Rome, Tahiti, England, the Caribbean and even the Wild West. There are also tales that involve vampires, time travel, cruising and more. Ordering is a quick online process: pick a story, answer a questionnaire online, and receive a paperback, hardback or ebook starring any couple.

Among the couple's 26 details supplied in the questionnaire are not only their names, but:
* Hometown,
* Places of work,
* Eye and hair color,
* Best friends' names,
* Favorite perfume and after shave,
* Favorite music and color,
* Affectionate nicknames for one another,
* How long they've been a couple and much more.

These customized capers are offered in both huggy-kissy "mild" or steamy "wild" with the option to add a memorable photo of the couple on the book's cover or to make it the entire cover.

"Over the years," says Fletcher, "our books have been called the 'Ultimate Vanity Valentine,' and we've been called 'Computerized Cupids.' We love that job title."

Details: In the U.S., printed hardback or paperback books usually arrive within a week; ebooks within 24 hours. Call (800) 444-3356 or visit www.YourNovel.com for more information. The company created the genre of personalized romance novels in 1992.

RALEIGH, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Deacon Jones Auto Group recently acquired Lee Hyundai of Goldsboro and will rename the store "Deacon Jones Hyundai." Deacon Jones Auto Group, with headquarters in Smithfield, North Carolina, has grown rapidly in the past few years. This growth will now include the acquisition of the former Lee Hyundai of Goldsboro which will be renamed under the Deacon Jones umbrella to "Deacon Jones Hyundai."

This location, at 304 N Oak Forest Rd. in Goldsboro, NC, will continue the growth and the investments that Deacon Jones has made to this area of the Goldsboro community.

With the acquisition of the Hyundai store, Deacon Jones now has brand new showrooms for Kia, Nissan, Honda, and Ford located right next door and the Hyundai store anticipates a brand-new remodel to start in 2020. This area of McLain street will become a one stop shop for any automotive shopper.

Deacon Jones Auto Group has been serving North Carolina for over 40 years and their development of the Goldsboro area has been a plus for the surrounding communities. These new locations are just a short drive from downtown Goldsboro, Mount Olive, Wilson, Clinton, Greenville, Kinston, Smithfield, and Johnston County, its home base.

"While we have grown rapidly, we have made a conscious effort to respect our customers and those in the community who have helped us to succeed," remarked Ken Jones, President of Deacon Jones Auto Group. "Our motto remains, 'We treat people the way we want to be treated,' and I believe that is why we are growing and expanding as a full-service family of Automotive dealerships, continuing to meet the needs of our patrons as this area progresses."

Jones added, "The acquisition of the new Hyundai store only enriches our presence in this community and gives people more choices for quality vehicle purchases and adds a new brand that Deacon Jones didn't previously have."

Deacon Jones currently includes 17 new and pre-owned dealerships located throughout North Carolina in Goldsboro, Smithfield, Princeton, LaGrange, Greenville, Selma, Raleigh, and Clinton.

Teachers and Staff at Dayspring Receive a Back to School Gift: The Opportunity to Reverse Chronic Disease

RALEIGH, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- EHOP Health(R), a chronic disease reversal company headquartered in the Triangle region, recently implemented their Journey 2 Health(TM) program at Dayspring Christian Academy. Dayspring, which educates students from kindergarten through high school, wanted to offer additional support to their team. Teachers and staff now have a chance to be the student, receiving weekly health lessons and working with a dedicated health coach to develop a personalized health plan.

"We respect the work Dayspring does emphasizing academic excellence, physical well-being, and spiritual health to their students," said William (B.J.) Lawson, CEO and co-founder of the Apex-based company with clients across the southeast. "Their holistic approach resonates with our company values. Dayspring's dedication to their teachers and staff goes beyond words and we are honored to help them practically demonstrate their commitment to their people through our Journey 2 Health program."

Dayspring's principal Dug Hampton, was preparing for the upcoming academic year and believed the timing was right to introduce a new health benefit to his team. "We have a devoted team of teachers and staff who serve our students with excellence," said Hampton. "Servant leaders can often burn out as they focus on others rather than taking time for themselves. I'm excited that our team will now have the curriculum, relationships, and permission to invest into themselves and feel their best so we can serve our students with even greater energy."

The Dayspring staff launched their Journey 2 Health(TM) program as part of their teacher orientation week in August. The school is based in Blacksburg, Virginia and has been operating in the area since the fall of 1980.

Lawson, MD and Joe Jenkins, MD JD launched EHOP Health and the Journey 2 Health solution in 2016 after building a program and team to focus on disease reversal rather than disease management and compliance.

Pop-Up Problem-Solvers at My Change Agent Help Nonprofits Grow and Go

RALEIGH, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- An easy, affordable way to access a team of experts focused on solving problems and moving forward is now an option for nonprofit organizations across the country. Recognizing the common challenges facing nonprofits, such as limited budgets and bandwidths, North Carolina-based My Change Agent (MCA) has taken notice of a concept known as a flash organization. The result: the Capacity Building Consortium.

Often referred to as a "pop-up employer," a flash organization is created to solve a problem quickly and effectively. When a flash organization works well, research has shown that goal-oriented teams quickly impact change.

This concept is being used in the software technology and pharmaceutical sectors, but MCA co-founders Carolyn Naseer and Erin Spencer see tremendous need in the nonprofit sector.

"Nonprofits work tirelessly to meet the needs of communities they serve," Naseer said. "We are providing an affordable and effective way to help Executive Directors and their teams focus on solving problems in order to make positive, measurable impact that is critical to expanding services and meeting their mission."

The Capacity Building Consortium uses a one-of-a-kind subscription-based model to enroll nonprofits - regardless of size. Over time, members will receive an action plan to diversify donor streams, a documented succession plan, a process for managing volunteers, compliance with Human Resource regulations, and recruitment of qualified board members. In addition, employee health and wellness challenges and opportunities for staff development are included.

Enrollment is now open for the first cohort.

About My Change Agent:
My Change Agent (MCA) offers small businesses, nonprofits, universities, foundations, and startups access to on-demand teams created to solve problems while saving time and money. MCA's services include research administration, human resources, capacity building, and employee health and wellbeing.

YourNovel.com Romance Novelists Profile Valentine Shopper Types

RALEIGH, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- J.S. Fletcher and Kathy Newbern, founders of YourNovel.com, are still going strong after nearly three decades of personalizing romance novels for couples far and wide. Imagine you and your Sweetheart starring in a book. How romantic.

If there's one thing that unites every corner of the globe, it's love, and the husband-wife novelists, a.k.a. Fletcher Newbern, have made it their mission to spread the love. They've visited 70 countries, stepped foot on every continent, and sailed the high seas aboard numerous cruises in their other job, as travel writers, but always with an eye toward the romantic.

YourNovel.com offers more than 50 romantic novels to select from, including books set in Rome, Tahiti, England, the Caribbean and even the Wild West. It's a quick process: pick a story, answer a questionnaire online, and receive a paperback or hardback novel starring the two of you.

The husband-wife team note that business historically peaks during the Valentine season. It's the perfect holiday to give such a dedicated memento.

What's interesting are the types of Valentine shoppers they see, such as:

* The Romantic: plans to dazzle their special partner with something never seen before. Every year they set out for something sizzling, sexy and unique to get the heartstrings strumming the song of love. And with such a wide variety of books to choose from, YourNovel.com has these romantics covered.

* Long-timer: has run out of ideas after so many years being together but still wants something new for the occasion. With each celebrated Valentine's Day, a personalized romance adventure novel fits the bill for a beautiful commemoration and a fill-in-your-own dedication page.

* The Procrastinator: buys roses and chocolates at a roadside stand on the way home from work on February 14. But not to worry, the company's eBooks are available within a few hours even on the Day of Love.

* The Overachiever: Chocolates-check! Roses-check! Candles-check! Fancy undies-check! Um, anything else? After all, it's already January 25. That buys enough time to get a lovely hardback romance novel with a photo of you two on the front cover.

* Deployed: is currently not in a position to go for the usual stuff or receive it. YourNovel.com has served many clients who are deployed or whose partners are away from home. A personalized romance novel is easy to ship worldwide and a fabulous way to say "I love you" from a distance.

* Doghouse Bad Boy: needs a grand gesture to make up for some grievous error (real or imagined). YourNovel.com has all kinds of stories to choose from to make amends in a romantic, special way. Read it together on the couch then act out the sexy parts - each book comes wild or mild.

* Non-Believer: "It's just a made up holiday." Better to be safe than sorry when it comes to the significant other who may not hold the same opinion. Besides, personalized gifts are timeless, and romantic novels are sure to captivate for years to come.

"Over the years," says Newbern, "our books have been called the 'Ultimate Vanity Valentine,' and we've been called 'Computerized Cupids.' We love that job title."

Fletcher has a final piece of advice. "Don't get sucked into believing the Big Lie: 'It's OK, Honey, you don't need to get me anything for Valentine's.'"

Regardless of your shopping profile, a novel starring you and your real-life Sweetie is sure to impress as a forever keepsake.

Details: In the U.S., printed books, hardback or paperback, usually arrive within a week; ebooks within 24 hours. Call (800) 444-3356 or visit https://yournovel.com/ for more information.

The company created the genre of personalized romance novels in 1992.
