News from Don Schumacher Racing
and Matco Tools Racing
BROWNSBURG, Ind. (Jan. 19, 2010)
Antron Brown, driver of the Don Schumacher Racing Matco Tools dragster, will visit with members of Indianapolis' LeGore Boys & Girls Club on behalf of Racers Who Care. Brown becomes the second Don Schumacher Racing driver to participate in the Quick Tips on Winning in Life presentation following DSR Funny Car driver "Fast Jack" Beckman, who spoke at the LeGore Boys & Girls Club last September. Brown will visit the club on the afternoon of Jan. 20.
"I always enjoy meeting with kids and speaking and interacting with them about education and important issues in life," Brown said. "I know Jack (Beckman) did a great job meeting with the group last summer during the U.S. Nationals and I look forward to meeting this group at the Boys & Girls Club on Tuesday."
Racers Who Care, Inc.'s Quick Tips on Winning in Life racer presentations to children's groups, schools, hospitals are an avenue through which professional racers can give back to the communities where they live and race, by inspiring, affirming, empowering, and fueling the dreams of children and teens.
"Judy Strawn at Racers Who Care has been very active in getting NHRA racers into the community and I think it's great," Brown said. "Hopefully the kids will have a fun time and maybe we'll even meet a few NHRA fans or create some new racing fans."
Founded in 1993, Racers Who Care is a Los Angeles-based group of motor sports professionals dedicated to making a difference for our next generation. Through racers, the program has unforgettably impacted children and teens throughout the U.S. with a variety of excitingly educational presentations centered around major American geographical areas and racing venues. Using personal observations from their own experiences, racers bring to children and teens a stirring message of positive alternatives to substance abuse and negative behaviors. Their presentations will center on key universal truths, applicable to every young person regardless of age, life experience or cultural background. Topics include: Learn the Art of Teamwork, Study-Knowledge is Power, Find a Mentor, Take the Long View, Explore Your Talent and Creativity, and more.
