DSR OFFERS INFINITE HERO CHALLENGE COINS

 

 

 

Jack Beckman has been the busiest driver at NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series events this past month and not just because his Infinite Hero Funny Car team won two of the past three races along with running the three quickest times in NHRA Funny Car history.

The popular driver from Southern California and former U.S. Air Force sergeant has a mission perhaps more important than what he does driving his 2015 Dodge Charger R/T race car for Don Schumacher Racing.

While most drivers promote products or services, Jack promotes the Infinite Hero Foundation (InfiniteHero.org) to raise funds for programs that drive innovation and the accessibility of effective treatments for military heroes and their families dealing with service-related mental and physical injuries.

He carries at least 10 Infinite Hero challenge coins on each trip down the dragstrip and then autographs them with the time of the run and personalized for fans at the track who make a $100 donation to Infinite Hero.

As an added bonus, Jack signs and numbers five coins after each event that are available at eBay.com's DSR store.

Also currently available on the DSR ebay store now is a special edition Infinite Hero watch valued at $800. The watch auction ends on Aug. 19. One of Jack's Infinite Hero firesuits will be up for auction later this week. All proceeds from these items go to Infinite Hero.

Jack was extra busy during the three-race Western Swing when he won titles at Denver, Sonoma, Calif., and was a semifinalists last Sunday (Aug. 9) near Seattle. It also helped that that during the Western Swing and crew chief Jimmy Prock with assistants John Medlen and Chris Cunningham produced the three quickest runs ever in a Funny Car (3.912, 3.921 and 3.958 seconds).

Jack estimates about $30,000 was raised at his pit area during the Western Swing that brings this year's total to nearly $100,000. The challenge coin campaign began at the sixth race of the 2014 NHRA Mello Yello Series season.

"The way our car has performed the last few races has had to help," he said. "I could hardly keep up with the fans. It's been a frenzy, and the more we win the more fans want those iconic coins and the coins from our quickest runs sold sell out very quickly. Let's hope this momentum continues."
