NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

Shirley's Kids, the charity headed by legendary drag racer Shirley Muldowney, will adorn Erica Enders' Elite Motorsports/Mopar Dodge Pro Stocker at the 29th annual NHRA SpringNationals this weekend at Royal Purple Raceway.

Shirley's Kids' mission is to lend a hand to children in need in the markets where drag racing has become a part of the community.
 
"Shirley's Kids has already impacted the lives of two amazing kids and their families, and I'm happy to carry its logo this weekend," Enders said. "Shirley did a lot for this sport, and she continues to help others through Shirley's Kids."
 
The Shirley's Kids-adorned Dodge is made possible through the generous contribution of Lupe Tortilla Mexican Restaurants. None of the money donated to Shirley's Kids goes to the sponsorship of Enders' race car; Lupe Tortilla is providing all of the funding.
 
Lupe Tortilla has been voted the No. 1 Tex-Mex restaurant in Texas on numerous occasions; it has locations across Houston as well as in San Antonio, Austin, Beaumont, Katy, and College Station.
 
"Stan and Sheila Holt have done so much for Shirley's Kids," Muldowney said. "I can't thank them enough for helping the kids at the races we go to, and now to see Shirley's Kids on Erica's car is icing on the cake. They are trying their best to help us spread the word so we can help more children."
 
Muldowney is slated to attend several NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series events in 2016 as Shirley's Kids continues to help children in need. The next race on her schedule is this weekend in Houston. She also will attend the races in Atlanta, Englishtown, Bristol, Denver, Indianapolis, Charlotte, Dallas, Las Vegas, and Pomona, as well as the NHRA Jr. Drag Racing Western Conference Finals presented by Huddleston Performance in Tulsa, Okla.
