Giving Car Program Celebrates its Final Run

[Paul]

Thankful to see Doug/Terry/Johnny support the sport for so long. Hope DSR can fill that gaps, which is going to be tough in this environment.

Man, I miss Terry. The most genuine and nice person. Many thanks to her & her family for all they have done for people.

 

[Bubba]

I agree, Corey. Terry was a joy to speak to.

This is real bad news for the Schumacher team, but probably not unexpected. That was always an odd-ball, unconventional sponsorship on those 2 cars but it has been real good while it lasted. I would say it's not at all likely we will see those two cars back for some time as sponsorship has been getting harder and harder to come by, and especially now with the virus situation. So, with Force out indefinitely, that would be 4 less cars on the NHRA tour next year. Not good.

Don't underestimate Don's ability to locate new sponsors!

Pretty hard look at Tony S and it was Antrons help secured those six races nothing stated for next year, maybe a lot more missing than you think.

Don's had three years notice for these two teams so I'm pretty confident he'll be all right. At least I hope so.

 

[Dragracer]

I wouldn't bet on anything sponsorship wise for the next year or so. It's going to take that long for the economy to recover.

I have to thank the Chandler's for their contribution to the sport, and for extending the support even after Terry passed away. They touched a lot of people, from the teams themselves to all the Make A Wish and Infinite Hero programs.

This is the last paragraph from the DSR press release. Pure class from Don and DSR:

To support MD Anderson, fans are encouraged to visit mdanderson.org/myfundraising and use the DSRFC solicitation code when making a donation. Infinite Hero challenge coins can be purchased trackside or online (infinitehero.org/donate). Fans can also make a donation by texting NHRA to 243725. Information about the annual DSR/U.S. Nationals Riley program will be announced Aug. 20.

My brother and I sat with many ‘Wish’ families in the hospitality area. It was inspiring to see Terry move around the track and entertain those families. Jack and Tommy were always classy ambassadors. Tough times now but thanks to those who made it all happen.
