MOHNTON, Pa. -- Hometown hero and NHRA Top Fuel star Hot Rod Fuller will return home to Northwest Arkansas where the longtime Rogers, Ark. resident will throw out the first pitch at Arvest Ballpark on Aug. 21. Fuller will take to the mound before the 7 p.m. AA baseball game when the hometown Northwest Arkansas Naturals face the Springfield Cardinals.
"It's always great to return home to Northwest Arkansas to visit my family and friends, but this trip home will be extra special," Fuller said. "Growing up and playing sports, being a baseball player is something all kids dream of. I'll get to live that dream for a few seconds. I just hope I don't bounce it, and maybe I can talk the Naturals into letting me take batting practice before the game."
Fuller, driver of the David Powers-owned Caterpillar Top Fuel dragster, graduated from the University of Arkansas before pursuing his professional NHRA racing career. The rising Top Fuel star has seven wins in the Top Fuel ranks and 13 career NHRA national event sportsmen victories. Fuller will sign autographs at Arvest Ballpark before the 7 p.m. game. The Naturals currently lead the Texas League North Division. Fuller's Caterpillar dragster show car also will be on display with support from Riggs Cat and Crossland Construction.
Headquartered in Houston with race operations located in Brownsburg, Ind., David Powers Motorsports fields the two-car Top Fuel operation of drivers Rod Fuller and Antron Brown. DPM proudly represents racing partners Matco Tools, Caterpillar, Forward Sports Marketing, Valvoline, Toyota, Ringer's Gloves, Go Fast Sports, Goodyear, FRAM, and Autolite.
