NHRA^® Team Report

NHRA Midwest Nationals – St. Louis

Pre-Race Report

Cruz Pedregon is on a mission…not just to have a winning weekend at the Midwest Nationals in the Snap-on Dodge^®  Funny Car, but to bring awareness to The Pink Fund^® that has helped so many breast cancer patients, including his sister Dora who is a cancer survivor. 

“Dora was fortunate, she only needed information from The Pink Fund,” says Cruz. “But most people who receive support from the organization need a financial safety net to cover non-medical expenses such as housing, transportation, utilities, and insurance during breast cancer treatment. And COVID-19 has put even more individuals in need of assistance. So it is more important than ever that our primary sponsor Snap-on is stepping up for the sixth year to support The Pink Fund with a donation and exposure through this special paint scheme that will be seen by thousands of NHRA fans during Breast Cancer Awareness month.” 

“We are so grateful for this ongoing relationship with Snap-on, not only for the direct financial support of the mission, but for spreading awareness that real help for breast cancer patients is available through The Pink Fund,” says Molly MacDonald, founder and CEO of The Pink Fund. Molly is traditionally on-site at the track and in Cruz’s pit for the unveiling of The Pink Fund paint scheme each year. This year she’ll be watching it along with other fans on FOX and through Cruz’s social media posts of the new design that features a pink fin, Snap-on logo, and lower body stripe with The Pink Fund logo across the hood.

Snap-on will once again dedicate a portion of the sales of a themed promotional mini-diecast set of all six Funny Car paint schemes dedicated to The Pink Fund, bringing its total donation to the organization over the past six years to more than $475,000.
