The U.S. has seen shortages in hospital supplies, testing kits, and ventilators due to the coronavirus outbreak. Scrappers Racing along with its partner True Disruption have started collecting donations to send to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Foundation to aid in research and relief.

Donations in any amount are accepted and donations over $30 will receive a Scrappers Racing t-shirt. All proceeds will be donated to the CDC.

Don Schumacher Racing (DSR) and Don Schumacher Motorsports (DSM), DSR’s manufacturing arm, are proud to join the fight to help protect our nation’s brave health care workers on the front lines that are tirelessly treating patients seeking medical assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic.          
    
In response to the growing need for supplies, DSM has teamed up with Stratasys, a global leader in additive manufacturing or 3D printing technology, to produce headbands that will be used for medical face shields in healthcare facilities. DSM’s two Stratasys FDM 3D printers, the Stratasys Fortus 450mc and F370, are typically used for chassis fixturing, weldment fixturing, rapid prototype development and proofing out new components for DSR’s fleet of race cars. With NHRA drag racing at a temporary standstill, both printers have switched gears and are now working round-the-clock to churn out as many headbands as possible throughout the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

After announcing a revised national event schedule last week, NHRA officials announced today the schedules for the E3 Spark Plugs NHRA Pro Mod Series presented by J&A Service, the Mickey Thompson Tires NHRA Top Fuel Harley Series, the SAMTech.edu NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Series and the Mountain Motor Pro Stock category.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, SFG Promotions Inc. has postponed the JEGS-SFG 500 at South Georgia Motorsports Park, originally scheduled for April 21-26. Over the weekend, President Trump extended social distancing guidelines across the nation to April 30th, giving SFG no other option on that matter. SFG has also made two other major adjustments to their 2020 plans to adapt to the new global environment.

One of those adjustments is the cancellation of the JEGS-SFG Super Bowl of Bracket Racing that was scheduled to be at Darlington Dragway during September 16-20, which is the new JEGS-SFG 500 date. Anyone who is pre-entered into the Super Bowl, or a SFG season pass holder will be contacted by a representative of SFG Promotions to either process a SFG account credit or refund: each racer has a choice between the two. Additionally, all pre-entries in the JEGS-SFG 500 will transfer to the new September date.

Jim Butner Auto Group Pro Stock driver Bo Butner had a call to action during the iHeartRadio's Living Room Concert for America on Sunday night on FOX. The concert helped two charities -- Feeding America and First Responders Children's Foundation.

Yet, he wondered if there was still more that can be done to help those in need, especially when so many hospitals around the country are in need of equipment. That's when an idea came to him.
