CRP Racing Signs Daniel Morad for Pirelli World Challenge SprintX Races

HARRISBURG, N.C. (April 24, 2017) — In anticipation of the Pirelli World Challenge’s SprintX championship kicking off this weekend at Virginia International Raceway, CRP Racing has signed Canadian racer Daniel Morad to join Ryan Dalziel in the No. 2 Devilbiss Mercedes AMG GT3. As a five race championship within the existing 2017 calendar, the SprintX format will expand both races in the events from 50 minutes to 60 minutes, requiring each driver to complete no more than 35 minutes of racing.

While only 27 years old, Morad’s 10 year racing resume boats strong results. In 2007, the Toronto native won the Formula BMW USA Championship, setting a record of six race wins in one championship. In 2015, Morad’s career in sports car racing began to blossom when he finished second in the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada with nine podiums in ten races. The following year, he returned to the series to clinch the championship, earning four wins and ten podiums in twelve races. Morad closed out the 2016 race season with another championship title, winning the inaugural season of the IMSA Porsche GT3 North American Cup. His 2017 race season got off to the best kind of start, with a GTD class win at the Rolex 24 Hours At Daytona with Alegra Motorsports. Morad’s first laps in the No. 2 Mercedes AMG GT3 will occur on Wednesday at the promoter test day at Virginia International Raceway.

“I am really happy to join CRP for the 2017 SprintX Championship,” said Morad. “There were a lot of top drivers in the mix for the seat so it is a real honor to have been chosen to pursue this exciting challenge. The past 12 months have been career changing, and I really appreciate the opportunity from Nick Short and the whole team.”

Morad will join full time driver Ryan Dalziel in the No. 2 Mercedes AMG GT3, who has already completed three races with the team. Dalziel holds two second place finishes at the 3.27 mile, 17 turn road course in Alton, Virginia.

“I’m really looking forward to Virginia International Raceway,” said Dalziel. “I haven’t been there since the resurfacing, but we’ve heard it is perfect now. I am excited about the first SprintX race of this season, and hoping Daniel and I can get a win.”

The two will be up against strong competition in the already highly competitive series, as the SprintX events have attracted professional drivers from around the world.

Competitors will have just under four and a half hours of testing and practice before Saturday’s qualifying session. The current driver rankings hold Dalziel at a Gold, and Morad as a Silver, meaning their Pro/Pro lineup will not require a minimum amount of time spent in pit lane during the mandatory pit stop. Both drivers will have to complete a minimum of 25 minutes of racing, but no more than 35 minutes.

Race one of the Pirelli World Challenge SprintX Championship will begin Saturday, April 29 at 3:30PM ET, followed by Race 2 on Sunday the 30th at 1:15PM. The events of the weekend will air on CBS Sports Network, Sunday, May 7 at 6:00PM ET, but fans can find live timing and stream information at world-challenge.com/streamvideo.

SecurityNational Mortgage Continues to Expand and Opens a New Branch Production Office in Reno, NV

Reno, NV (December 21, 2016) – SecurityNational Mortgage Company with over 23 years of service and more than $3 billion annually in closed loans, is pleased to announce the expansion of a new branch office in Reno, NV.

The Reno office will primarily service the mortgage lending needs of individuals and families in northern and northwestern Nevada, and are also licensed to serve Wyoming and southern California. SecurityNational Mortgage Company features an in-house processing and underwriting department to allow better customer service and quicker closed loans.

“Unlike banks and lenders that that have limited operations and service, SecurityNational Mortgage Company has the distinct advantage of being a direct mortgage lender—all loan processing is handled locally,” said Dana DeSarle, Branch Manager of the Reno, NV office.

Dana comes to Security National with years of mortgage and real estate experience. He will serve as the branch manager along with many other loan officers and support staff for this area. The team has extensive experience with Conventional, Jumbo, FHA, VA, Reverse, USDA and many other mortgage loan programs.

“It’s all about delivering more than what’s expected at Security National,” continued DeSarle. “Potential homebuyers can count on our team to deliver the best mortgage experience so loans close on time—without the hassle.”

Security National continues to grow and is looking for like-minded and talented individuals to join their award winning team. The company is interviewing experienced loan officers, branch managers, and support staff in locations across the nation.

Security National Named Top Place to Work in Large Business Category for 2016

Security National announced today that they were named as a 2016 Top Workplace by the Salt Lake Tribune. The Salt Lake Tribune partnered with Pennsylvania-based WorkplaceDynamics, an employee-research and consulting firm, to determine the region’s Top Workplaces rankings.

The Top Workplaces award recognizes the best organizations as voted by their employees. Beginning in March, The Tribune ran articles and advertisements encouraging employees in the region to nominate companies as Top Workplaces. WorkplaceDynamics invited those companies, as well as other organizations in the region, to participate in the program.

Anyone could nominate a company. The only requirement was that the organization must employ at least 35 people in Utah. The organization could be public, private, nonprofit or governmental.

WorkplaceDynamics invited 899 workplaces to participate and surveyed 97 of them. Only those organizations that agreed to participate were included in the surveys. The surveyed firms employ 29,546 people in Utah. Of those employees who received questionnaires, 20,624 responded, either on paper or online.

“Our motto here at Security National is Excellence.” Says CEO of Security National Scott Quist. “I like to think it’s not excellence because someone is looking over my shoulder, or someone else’s shoulder. I like to think it’s excellence because that’s what I do, that’s me, that’s what I get up to do.”

Excellence defines the company’s culture and business model. With over five decades of experience, Security National has purposefully created and nourished a corporate culture that helps consumers and inspires employees to emphasize innovation, quality, and success. Security National’s culture has been embraced by a growing team of employees across the nation.

As part of this commitment, Security National has pioneered many innovative practices to ensure that this culture translates into long-term business value, including a selection of tools and resources, training, award winning marketing services, competitive compensation, full benefits, gym reimbursement, and vacation policy so employees enjoy a healthy work-life balance. Employees also participate in activities and charities that allow the company and employees to give back to their communities.

“Security National’s success is driven by the amazing people that make up our business, including our employees, customers, and partners,” said Steve Johnson, President at Security National. “Our culture has defined our company and our performance, and has created an environment where our employees have success. It is a tremendous honor to be recognized as a Top Workplace in Utah, and I am pleased to share the award with everyone who makes Security National an exceptional company.”

Security National is currently hiring across many departments with many open positions. They are also looking for experienced personnel, loan officers, branch managers and more across the nation. Visit  http://itisbetterhere.com today for more information.
