DRAG RACERS HELP FRIEND
Greendale fought inoperable cancer a year ago and was thought to have achieved a miraculous recovery by the fall. His life was celebrated at an after-hours event at the Automobile Club of Southern California NHRA Finals in Pomona, but his cancer returned a month later with a vengeance.
Greendale has sacrificed his home and his career to fight his cancer and has just begun clinical trials with an energized fight to beat it. He has a strong bond with friends throughout NHRA teams, including DSR and JFR, and a long-standing friendship with Mike "Zippy" Neff.
The Don Schumacher and John Force Racing teams
battle tooth and nail on the racetrack, but these two teams will come
together at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway Friday, April 11, at
7 p.m. for a mutual friend, Eric Greendale.
