USFD Racing was formed to honor the firemen of the United States and contribute to and bring awareness of the many volunteer fire departments and rescue squads that depend on donations to assist them in maintaining the operation of their units, while also supporting charities that are established to assist in the relief of distressed families of fallen firefighters and the victims of tragic events that occur each day in our nation.
When I was a young driver competing at my local track, I almost lost my life in a racing accident after being trapped inside my race car. The safety crew cut me out and successfully transported me to the hospital in time for major surgery resulting from a crushed right leg and a large loss of blood in the accident. I would not be alive today if it wasn't for the training and quick response of the rescue squad that attended the race that night. When I'm at a race track or just at a high school football game and I see the volunteers from a rescue squad volunteering their time, I appreciate it and I am more aware of their presence than most, because of the situation I experienced. Hopefully, the efforts of the USFD Racing team will encourage others to take notice and be more aware that, when we are competing in a sport or just everyday life, there is a group of people out there providing a service to us that we may not often recognize until we need to call upon them for their support.
