"Don Schumacher and the DSR staff are proud to showcase our facilities to NHRA fans and share a commitment to Riley Hospital for Children with DSR drivers, sponsors and fans,” DSR Sr. Vice President Mike Lewis said. “The doctors, medical personnel and families at Riley are miracle workers and we're inspired every year by Riley Kids. It's great to share the excitement of the NHRA U.S. Nationals with the greater Indianapolis community and especially our friends at Riley Hospital for Children."

Race fans will have the opportunity to tour DSR’s racing headquarters which houses the U.S. Army, FRAM and Matco Tools/U.S. Army Top Fuel dragsters and the NAPA, DieHard/shelor.com and Valvoline/MTS Dodge Charger Funny Cars. Visitors also will be able to see DSR’s in-house fabrication area and machine shop and have the opportunity to win racing collectibles as part of a raffle drawing. There also will be a silent auction during the open house event.
 
“The annual Don Schumacher Racing Open House is a terrific event and we are grateful for the continuous support and generosity of Don Schumacher Racing, and are overwhelmed with the time and energy they devote towards helping children,” said Greg Williamson, vice president of regional development at Riley Children’s Foundation. “Don Schumacher Racing understands the vital role Riley Hospital plays in securing a healthy future for children.”
 
DSR has raised more than $90,000 over the last five years with its Open House and Bowling for Riley charity tournament. The second annual charity bowling event generated more than $12,000 for Riley this May. All proceeds from the DSR Open House go to Riley Hospital for Children.
