"The outpouring of support from the La Porte community for the DSR drivers and teams has been very much appreciated," offered DSR Senior Vice President, Mike Lewis. "The drivers are all busy at NHRA races with sponsor commitments, but they very much enjoyed the interaction with the La Porte residents and fans of the sport last year. We made many new DSR friends who will hopefully come out to see us race at Houston Raceway Park this weekend."
The Motorhead Maniacs event will be located in on Main Street/Spencer between SH 146 and Broadway and is free to the public. The event is sponsored by the Main Street Program-City of La Porte, Comfort Suites of La Porte, Main 101 Grill & Bar, Coupland Signs, and Don Schumacher Racing.
