PEDREGON RACING FOR THE CAUSE THIS WEEKEND
Cruz Pedregon has run through a number of Toyota Camry Funny Car bodies this season, and this weekend he’s back in the one he dubbed “El Cucuy.” The pink-highlighted new breast-cancer-awareness paint scheme caused the two-time Funny Car champion to say, "El Cucuy may mean 'The Boogeyman,' but this month it will be a frighteningly good guy when we push the Snap-on Toyota and generate exposure for The Pink Fund and its important work. Snap-on and our team support the mission of The Pink Fund to provide for non-medical living expenses – like transportation, utilities, and housing – of breast-cancer patients undergoing the fight of their lives."
Crew chief Tommy Delago, who’s trying to get Pedregon his fourth Texas Motorplex victory, said, "As a team, we're all excited about the good we'll be doing this month, to bring awareness of The Pink Fund, and starting it in Dallas at a winning track for Cruz is a great way to kick it off. We're finding our groove, and we plan to finish out the season strong."
Founder of The Pink Fund, Molly MacDonald, a breast-cancer survivor who founded the organization after her own treatment experience, will be in the pit this weekend with Pedregon. The car body will feature a Snap-on "Socket to Breast Cancer" logo in light pink with a sleek black background. "It's always fun to have Molly with us at the track. And her organization, The Pink Fund, is doing such great work to provide up to 90 days and $3,000 for the non-medical needs of breast-cancer patients. Our primary sponsor, Snap-on, is making an initial $50,000 donation, and The Pink Fund will receive additional funds generated through Snap-on sales promotions," Pedregon said. "We hope everyone watching at the track will stop by to meet Molly and have their picture taken with the car. And we hope fans watching at home on FOX will check out the organization online at www.Pinkfund.org."
