NHRA drivers take part in Hot Wheels: Race to Win exhibit at the Indianapolis Children’s Museum
Andrew Hines, Eddie Krawiec, and Tony Pedregon explained some of the mechanics of cars to the kids.
The drivers took part in a question-and-answer session with children at the museum, signed autographs, and more. The Hot Wheels: Race to Win exhibit uses Hot Wheels cars and tracks to demonstrate racing concepts and what it takes to stand in the winner’s circle.
“It was incredible, and I was like a big kid in a toy store,” said Pritchett. “To see the kids' eyes light up and to truly learn about the science and engineering of racing and being in the mecca of motorsports is cool for a kid to grow up with. To have professional drivers to come in and talk about their sport is great. I didn’t think I could love racing any more, but seeing the future of our fans, our drivers, and engineers ask questions and engage is enlightening and brightens my day.”
Indiana is home to the Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals, held annually at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis. The event will celebrate its 62nd anniversary this season and is the 18th of 24 events in the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series and the last race in the NHRA Mello Yello Series regular season. At the conclusion of the event, the top-10 drivers in four categories – Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, and Pro Stock Motorcycle – will be locked in to begin the six-race Countdown to the Championship, leading to 2016 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series world championships. Winners of the event last season were Morgan Lucas (Top Fuel), Jack Beckman (Funny Car), Erica Enders (Pro Stock), and Jerry Savoie (Pro Stock Motorcycle).
Tickets for the Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals, Aug. 31-Sept. 5, are on sale now to the public at NHRATix.com.
