DSR ADDS TO BIG 0 TIRES RILEY BENEFIT

Written by Jeff Wolf.

37The seventh annual Big O Tires presents the Don Schumacher Racing Open House is in three weeks, and this year's theme "330-mph Art & Technology" is expected to attract another record crowd to team headquarters near Indianapolis during the NHRA U.S. Nationals.

The free event will raise money for the Riley Children's Foundation that supports Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health and Camp Riley through a silent auction and other donations. Riley Hospital has served as Indiana's only comprehensive children's hospital since 1924.

The annual Open House and other DSR functions have raised more than $175,000 for Riley Hospital.

Auction items range from 60-inch and 32-inch HD, flat panel televisions provided by Aaron's to the actual front end from Matt Hagan's Aaron's Funny Car that was featured worldwide on the Internet and television news programs after the car exploded earlier this season at Charlotte Motor Speedway's zMAX Dragway.

A complete and updated list of silent auction items soon will be posted at ShoeRacing.com and Facebook.com/shoeracing.

The Open House, which is from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., will feature DSR professional drivers Tony Schumacher, Antron Brown, Spencer Massey, reigning NHRA Funny Car world champion Matt Hagan, Ron Capps, Jack Beckman and Johnny Gray.
