BROWNSBURG, Ind. (July 30, 2010) * Don Schumacher Racing will again open the
doors of its 100,000-square-foot race shop to fans on Sept. 3, 2010, when
DSR hosts its fifth annual Open House to benefit Riley Hospital for Children
in Indianapolis. The open house coincides with the opening day of
professional qualifying for the 56th annual U.S. Nationals at nearby
O¹Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis.
The popular event will be highlighted by the Indy Hi-Winders Car Club Car
and Motorcycle Show and will feature an autograph session with all seven DSR
professional drivers: Tony Schumacher, Cory McClenathan, Antron Brown, Rod
Capps, Jack Beckman, Matt Hagan and Rod Fuller. The DSR Open House will take place from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. while professional nitro qualifying is scheduled
for 7 p.m. at O.R.P.
"Don Schumacher and the DSR staff are proud to showcase our facilities to
NHRA fans and share a commitment to Riley Hospital for Children with DSR
drivers, sponsors and fans,² DSR Sr. Vice President Mike Lewis said. ³The
doctors, medical personnel and families at Riley are miracle workers and
we're inspired every year by Riley Kids. It's great to share the excitement
of the NHRA U.S. Nationals with the greater Indianapolis community and
especially our friends at Riley Hospital for Children."
Race fans will have the opportunity to tour DSR¹s racing headquarters which
houses the U.S. Army, FRAM and Matco Tools/U.S. Army Top Fuel dragsters and the NAPA, DieHard/shelor.com and Valvoline/MTS Dodge Charger Funny Cars. Visitors also will be able to see DSR¹s in-house fabrication area and
machine shop and have the opportunity to win racing collectibles as part of
a raffle drawing. There also will be a silent auction during the open house
event.
³The annual Don Schumacher Racing Open House is a terrific event and we are grateful for the continuous support and generosity of Don Schumacher Racing, and are overwhelmed with the time and energy they devote towards helping children,² said Greg Williamson, vice president of regional development at Riley Children¹s Foundation. ³Don Schumacher Racing understands the vital
role Riley Hospital plays in securing a healthy future for children.²
DSR has raised more than $90,000 over the last five years with its Open
House and Bowling for Riley charity tournament. The second annual charity
bowling event generated more than $12,000 for Riley this May. All proceeds
from the DSR Open House go to Riley Hospital for Children. For more
