WMUL-FM, Marshall University’s public radio station, will sponsor its 13th annual homecoming car bash from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 9, on Buskirk Field in the middle of Marshall University’s Huntington campus as part of MU’s Spirit Week and homecoming festivities.
This year, however, instead of bashing a car, participants will be bashing a truck. They will pay $1 to bash a Chevrolet S-10 truck for two minutes. The truck is being donated by Kelly’s Radiator Service, and WMUL-FM will provide the gloves, sledgehammers and goggles.
“The car bash is a great way to foster a sense of school spirit,” WMUL Promotions Director Anna Tupper said. “It is a homecoming tradition we are proud and excited to continue.”
The Chevy S-10 will be painted in the colors of Marshall’s homecoming opponent Middle Tennessee State University, which are royal blue and white.
“Homecoming is an exciting time, but it also falls right before midterms,” Tupper said. “The car bash provides a way to show your Marshall pride and to take out some of the stress of worrying about midterms.”
The dollar will provide participants with two minutes of full access to the S-10 to relieve stress and get the students excited about the football game Saturday.
