HADDOCK DONATES SPACE

Terry Haddock told CompetitionPlus.com at the beginning of the season that he planned to run two nitro 
cars
in 2009, focusing on each event to determine which provided his team
the best opportunity to qualifying and win. The defending IHRA World
Champion who has become an NHRA regular opted to run both cars, one
dragster and one Funny Car, in Englishtown because the events provide
an excellent opportunity to win.
The wins Haddock have in mind have little or any impact on whether he lights up the scoreboards. The real victory he seeks is in awareness.
The Top Fuel dragster he drives this weekend carries the logo of the Dream House for Medically Fragile Children while his Funny Car, driven this weekend by Cory Lee, spread the message of the veteran’s group Fueled by the Fallen.

America backed the Dream House dragster while actor Kevyn Major Howard,
who starred in the movie Full Metal Jacket, covered the Funny Car.
“These are both good causes and we are trying to help out with some exposure for them,” Haddock said.
Haddock can relate to children charities having lost a newborn daughter a few years ago.
“I’ve actually donated money to several children’s charities over the years,” Haddock said. “Anytime we can raise money or awareness for kids, we do it.”
Lee was responsible for spearheading the effort to bring the Fueled for the Fallen Funny Car into existence. Over the last three years, he’s kept busy racing both nostalgia and through limited stints on the IHRA tour.
“I had a chance meeting with Kevyn Major Howard last October and we hit it off as friends right away,” Lee said. “He told me about the program bringing in assistance for the veterans with a heavy emphasis on the Marines because of my family background with them, so I had a warm spot in my heart.”
