INDIANAPOLIS (Nov. 25, 2025) – NHRA headliners Alexis DeJoria, Cruz Pedregon, Tony Stewart, and Ida Zetterström will help kick off the festivities at the recently revived ‘Rev n Roll’ fundraiser benefiting Riley Children’s Foundation on Dec. 10 from 6 – 9 p.m. The beloved event returns to Western Bowl (6441 W Washington St, Indianapolis) after a six-year hiatus and will once again serve as the unofficial kick off to the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Show’s week of activities.

The event offers race fans the opportunity to bowl and mingle alongside their favorite drivers while supporting an important community cause. With backing from the Brownsburg-based JCM Racing team, Indianapolis residents and longtime Riley supporters Mike Lewis and Hali Warnick are spearheading the event’s return. Lewis and Warnick aim to raise funds for the nationally ranked children’s hospital foundation through lane sales as well as a silent auction, which will go live on Dec. 1.

DeJoria, Pedregon, Stewart, and Zetterström are the first to confirm their participation, with additional drivers expected to be announced. The drivers will throw out the ceremonial “first roll” alongside Riley Kids and their families to officially kick off the evening.

“We’re all for supporting anything Riley-related,” said Pedregon, owner of Cruz Pedregon Racing. “So many in our community have personal connections to Riley, and with many NHRA teams based here in Indy, it’s a cause that’s near and dear to us drag racers. We host an Open House at our facility each year ahead of the U.S. Nationals to benefit Riley and always get a huge turnout of drivers, as well as incredible support from the teams. When I heard the Rev n Roll event was coming back, I felt it was important to get involved. I hope to see the place packed with race fans.”

Adding to the excitement, thanks to ProThings, the first 200 event registrants will receive a complimentary commemorative bowling shirt designed by renowned motorsports livery artist Dave Marek.

Lanes are available for $200 for a group of four, and individual bowlers may register at $50 per person. Registration is now open. All fees benefit Riley Children’s Foundation. Visit give.rileykids.org/revnrollforriley to reserve your lane.
