Guest Post by Daniel Goodwyn<\/em><\/p>\n

Eric Barber\u2019s story is one of grit, perseverance, and a refusal to give up\u2014even when the odds are stacked against him. A former city councilman and a January 6th political prisoner, Eric has endured the destruction of his career, the loss of his freedom, and relentless persecution. Yet through it all, he has held on to the one passion that has kept him grounded: stock car racing.<\/p>\n

Eric has also remained active in his local community and politics. He was elected to the Parkersburg City Council in 2016 and quickly made headlines for standing firm in his Christian faith\u2014reciting the Lord\u2019s Prayer before meetings, which led to a lawsuit from the Freedom From Religion Foundation. In 2018, he worked with FAMM to lobby for the First Step Act in D.C., a law that would later benefit him personally as a federal prisoner.
\n\u201cRacing is my therapy,<\/em>\u201d Eric told me. \u201cWhen I\u2019m behind the wheel, I can forget, at least for a while, about all the attacks and the stigma of being a J6er. But without a sponsor, I can\u2019t keep going much longer. Every car on pit lane has a sponsor but mine.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Eric\u2019s GiveSendGo fundraiser\u2014givesendgo.com\/J6-StockCarDriver\u2014is his first time publicly asking for help since January 6th. He\u2019s offering something special to those who step up to help: for every $100 donated, a donor\u2019s name will be placed on the hood of his car, alongside a memorial to J6 patriots who were killed or died due to medical neglect while imprisoned.<\/p>\n

The Struggle to Get a Sponsor<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eric\u2019s lifelong dream has been racing. After years of being a crew member, he finally bought his first stock car just before January 6th. In 2022, despite juggling federal court hearings and incarceration, he earned Rookie of the Year honors while driving a full-blown NASCAR car from the early 2000s.<\/p>\n

Throughout his political career, Eric championed pro-life causes and public safety. He helped organize a \u201cConfirm Kavanaugh\u201d rally in his hometown, increased police wages, and led one of West Virginia\u2019s largest pro-law enforcement rallies in response to \u201cdefund the police\u201d protests. He earned endorsements from the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 79, the Firefighters Local 91, and the Family Policy Council of West Virginia\u2014becoming the only member of his city council to receive that last honor.<\/p>\n

But his status as a J6er has cost him the sponsorships that nearly every other driver takes for granted<\/strong>. Businesses are afraid of being \u201cdoxxed\u201d or targeted for supporting him. Eric shared, \u201cI\u2019ve had companies tell me they would love to sponsor me but they\u2019re scared. They say, \u2018If I put my logo on your car, I\u2019ll wake up to 6,000 negative Google reviews.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Even without sponsorship, Eric pushed forward. He bought and resold race parts to fund his car, skipped hotels and slept in his truck, and relied on used tires from other teams. But now, after years of stretching every resource, he\u2019s run out. His safety gear is outdated, his fuel cell needs repairs, and his racing career is on the verge of being parked for good.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Currently, Eric is ranked 4th out of 15 drivers in his racing series\u2019 championship points<\/strong>\u2014an impressive feat given his lack of funding and resources. He\u2019s set to race at his home track this Saturday, but beyond that, his finances are nearing a breaking point. \u201cIf I can\u2019t find a sponsor soon, I\u2019ll have to park the car,<\/em>\u201d he said. \u201cThis Saturday might be my last race for a while.<\/em>\u201d
\n\u201cI\u2019d love to have a company like MyPillow<\/strong> come onboard,<\/em>\u201d Eric said. \u201cI\u2019d be proud to carry a sponsor that shares our values.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Why This Fundraiser Matters<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eric is not just raising money for himself\u2014he\u2019s racing to keep the memory of J6 patriots alive. His car\u2019s hood will bear the names of the fallen, making every lap a tribute. This isn\u2019t just a racing story; it\u2019s a stand against the regime\u2019s attempt to erase those who dared to speak out.<\/p>\n
