It was 250 years ago that representatives of 13 colonies signed a declaration that changed the world, laying a foundation for the nation we proudly know today as the Home of the Free and the Land of the Brave.
The Fourth of July is about far more than fireworks, cookouts, and celebrations. It is a day to reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and vision of those who secured our nation’s independence and the generations of Americans who have defended those freedoms ever since.
At CompetitionPlus.com, we believe drag racing is one of the purest expressions of the American spirit. It is a sport built by innovators, dreamers, entrepreneurs, and hardworking families who refused to accept limitations. From hometown drag strips to the biggest stages in the sport, drag racing has flourished because America has always rewarded those willing to work harder, think differently, and chase a dream.
CompetitionPlus.com has been fortunate to grow alongside that spirit for more than a quarter century. Since 1999, we’ve been able to tell the stories of racers, crews, builders, and fans because this country gives people the freedom to create, build businesses, speak openly, and pursue their passions. We have never taken those freedoms for granted.
As our audience has grown worldwide, there’s one thing that has never changed. We are proud to call the United States of America our home, and we remain deeply grateful to the men and women of our military, past and present, whose service has protected the freedoms we enjoy every day.
As you celebrate America’s milestone 250th, please remember those serving around the world, our veterans, and the families who stand beside them. Never forget the sacrifice of those who never made it home. Their unselfishness made this celebration possible.
From all of us at CompetitionPlus.com, thanks for letting us share our passion for the sport with you every day. We wish you and your family a safe, meaningful, and memorable Independence Day.
God bless America, and Happy Fourth of July.
Sincerely,
The Staff of CompetitionPlus.com
