Though Jeff Dobbins recently acquired backing to compete in at least a few IHRA Pro Stock events this season, it doesn’t mean everything is easy all of a sudden. In an act of true sacrifice, Jeff’s wife Cindi gave up her plane ticket in exchange for a 24-hour ride in the team hauler. She didn’t just ride though: she also took shifts driving the rig on the long trip to central Texas, returning to the same site where Dobbins suffered a nasty crash in 2005.

Dobbins was pretty much speechless about his wife’s determination to keep him out there racing. “That’s pretty wild, isn’t it?” he added.

Dobbins, a former IHRA Top Sportsman World Champion, made the move to Pro Stock in 2002 were he became IHRA Professional Rookie of the Year and finished 4th in championship points. Along with being a multi-time national event winner, Dobbins has finished in the top ten in points in every year of competition. His partial backing is coming from local associates of the car owner and fellow Pro Stock competitor Richard Penland.
