Ennis, TX. - Four women racers gave thanks to some 4000 US Military troops and
their families at last weekend's NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event held at the
Texas Motorplex in Ennis, TX across April 3-5.
Tina Stull (Super Comp) and the Harker Twins (Alcohol Dragster), were honored with
an invitation to visit the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base in Fort Worth, TX. Prior
to the race "Team Troops" were featured celebrities at the base and were given a
private tour getting to meet the Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the US Military, all the
while, passing out tickets donated by the Texas Motorplex.
"It was such an honor to be invited to NASJRB Ft Worth" comments Diana "We had an
amazing time and would like to thank all who worked hard to organize the day for us
and most importantly, Thank You to the troops!"
Tina Stull, Kate and Diana Harker, and Peggy Llewellyn aka Team Troops, joined
forces at the track to host the troops and their families. The women utilize their pit
space to allow troops to experience racing from the racers vantage point. "For many
of the troops returning from deployment, this is the first high adrenaline experience
that they can share with their families. It is not only a healing experience for many but
also one that is bonding for the family as a whole" says Stull. The US Navy supplied
tents became home base for the troops, giving them a place to hang out and relax,
interact with drivers and crew, learn about the different racecars, and review different
materials and programs providing support to Military members. .
This weekend's event ended suddenly for Tina Stull, losing 2nd round with a blown up
engine. Peggy joined division four favorite, Lynn Nickerson up in the PA booth for
commentary to track audiences. In the meantime, the Aussie twins wrenched hard on
their fathers Top Alcohol Funny to win the prestigious 'Wally' trophy.
The women of Team Troops are looking forward to continuing on the NHRA schedule
to show their thanks to many more troops and their families. Team Troops welcomes
donations and support from individuals and company's who would like to become
involved with this exciting program.
Team Troops would personally like to thank the following companies for their role in
making the event possible : Welcome Home Troops, Rush Racing Products, La King
Confectionery, Military Ministries, Interstate Batteries, Slim Pickens Quality Meats, US
Navy recruiters, OSU tours, Earl Henslin Associates and Mac Tools.
The next Team Troops event will be the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event held at
Houston Raceway Park across May 15-17.
