August 28, 2023<\/em> – The DDR Motorsports Track Day for Veterans program, a heartwarming initiative designed to honor and support veterans, is garnering attention for its profound impact. The recent events held at Riverside Speedway on August 19th and Oxford Plains Speedway on August 26th have highlighted the program’s dedication to veterans’ well-being and appreciation for their service.<\/p>\n

\"\"The Riverside Speedway event saw the participation of Jackie O’Connor, a gold-star mother who tragically lost her son, Jeffery O\u2019Connor, E4, to a brain injury following his tour of duty. Despite a cool Northern New Hampshire evening and intermittent raindrops, Jackie witnessed the DDR Motorsports team maneuver their way to an impressive 13th-place finish. This moving event was a testament to the program’s commitment to veterans and their families.<\/p>\n

In a continuation of this remarkable program, on August 26th, retired LC Nick Houghton, an\"\" Afghanistan War Veteran, enjoyed a spectacular summer day at Oxford Plains Speedway. The DDR Motorsports team delivered an exhilarating performance, securing a top-ten finish in the intense 75-lap race. Nick’s involvement underscored the program’s mission of providing memorable experiences to those who have served their country.<\/p>\n

The Track Day for Veterans program is made possible by the generosity of DDR Motorsports, based in Bellingham, MA. The program offers veterans like Jackie and Nick a unique experience that includes a complimentary pit pass, exclusive team apparel, access to behind-the-scenes team communication, and an up-close view of the action both on the track and in the pits. This immersive experience is a small token of appreciation for the sacrifices veterans, and their families have made in service to their country. DDR Motorsports driver adds, \u201cThis is a small way for me to thank these men and women for their service and what they do for this country.\u201d<\/p>\n

A notable aspect of the program is its affiliation with Fubar Studios, a dedicated podcast helmed by Doug Macedo, aimed at aiding veterans in their post-service journey. This strategic collaboration amplifies the initiative’s reach and impact, ensuring that the valuable stories of veterans are shared far and wide.<\/p>\n

DDR Motorsports and Fubar Studios share a commitment to recognizing and honoring the sacrifices made by veterans, offering them a chance to create lasting memories and forge connections within a dynamic racing community.
