Funny Car points leader and NHRA fan favorite Ashley Force Hood will race a specially designed Ronald McDonald House Charities Castrol
GTX Ford Mustang during the 22nd annual NHRA Northwest Nationals in
Seattle, July 17-19, and again at the 22nd annual FRAM Autolite NHRA
Nationals, July 24-26, in Sonoma (CA). The Mustang was unveiled today
to the media at the famed Seattle Space Needle during the pre-event
press conference for the Seattle NHRA national event.
“I am thrilled to be helping raise awareness and donations for Ronald
McDonald House Charities. BrandSource, one of our major sponsors, is
very involved with this organization and their president Bob Lawrence,
started talking with us about getting involved earlier this year. We
got really excited about all the opportunities to help so this program
came together very quickly,” said Force Hood.
"The biggest thing for me is being able to race this amazing looking
Ford Mustang. I know it will draw a lot of attention and I want to turn
that excitement into donations for RMHC. We’ll be accepting donations
this weekend in Seattle and again in Sonoma. People can also donate
online if they can’t get to the race. I have so many fans that are
children I really want reach out to them and their families to
encourage them to give to or volunteer with this great organization,”
added Force Hood.
