O'FALLON, MO (October 7, 2011) – Team "O" Motorsports has a special tribute planned and will be racing for a worthy cause at the American Drag Racing League's (ADRL) LenMar Motorsports World Finals VII presented by Summit Racing Equipment.
Working with Capstone Fuel Management, the Texas-based Team "O" Motorsports is bringing the "Race For The Heroes," supporting the Wounded Warrior Project, to the ADRL's season-ending race, which takes place on Oct. 21-23 at Texas Motorplex in Ennis, Texas.
Leading up to the event, Team "O" will be making several appearances in the Dallas area to promote the fundraising effort that supports the nationally recognized Wounded Warrior Project.
"Our marketing partner, Capstone Fuel Management, as well as everyone on Team 'O' is proud to represent this worthwhile 'Race For The Heroes' cause," Team "O" Motorsports Marketing Manager Gary Lidiak said.
"We will be using a number of volunteers for our midway booth for the ADRL World Finals and we are really looking forward to bringing the 'Race For The Heroes' and the Wounded Warrior Project to a stage as big as an ADRL national event."
Team "O" Motorsports' '68 Pro Nitrous Tim McAmis Race Cars Camaro will have special "Race For The Heroes" graphics for the event, serving as a display car for public appearances and at the LenMar Motorsports ADRL World Finals VII presented by Summit Racing Equipment, which is shaping up to be one of the biggest events in ADRL history.
On the track, Team "O" will be represented by a Capstone Fuel Extreme Pro Stock GXP driven by Richard Otwell and a '68 Pro Nitrous Camaro driven by Jeff Naiser.
Naiser will also be driving in the "Battle The Belts" on Oct. 22, which features the top eight drivers in each class competing in a one-day shootout. Naiser is currently sixth in points in a highly-competitive Pro Nitrous class.
"Our cars will be part of a huge weekend in the ADRL and they will also provide awareness how important the Wounded Warrior Project is," Lidiak said. "We are absolutely thrilled to be given the opportunity to honor the heroes of our country and bring this event to the ADRL."
Formed in 2002, the Wounded Warrior Project is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to honor and empower wounded warriors of the United States Armed Forces.
The Wounded Warrior Project works to raise awareness and enlist the public's aid for the needs of severely injured service men and women, to help severely injured service members aid and assist each other and to provide unique, direct programs and services to meet their needs
"This is such a phenomenal and worthwhile cause. We are excited for this upcoming event and seeing our partnership continue to develop with the Wounded Warrior Project," Lidiak said.
