As Quick Rod driver Tom Martino (Youngstown, Ohio) heads into Pittsburgh Raceway Park this weekend for the IHRA Summit Racing Equipment Pro-Am Tour (July 6-8), he will be racing for something more meaningful than an event win.

Martino will be honoring the many family members and friends who have served, and are currently serving our great country, by carrying the United States Marine Eagle, Globe, and Anchor on his Mac Sherrill built Fidanza Engineering Corporation rear-engine dragster.

“When we found out Bob Scheid’s (Vice President of Fidanza) son Greg was headed to Iraq next month, we looked for the most effective way to raise awareness and support those who fight for our freedom each day and allow us the opportunity to race every weekend.  By carrying the logo, we hope to encourage Greg and his unit, along with the many others overseas to keep their spirits strong, win the fight on terrorism, and return home safely” Martino stated.
