Brea, Ca—It is going to be a very exciting week prior to the team gearing up for the U.S. Nationals August 28 - Sept 3rd, in Indianapolis, IN. Each Labor Day weekend, NHRA racers and fans converge and share their passion at Lucas Oil Raceway.  Just outside of Indianapolis in Clermont, the "Big Go" is the biggest, oldest, richest, and most prestigious drag race in the world.

To start the fun, on Tuesday August 28th Lombardo Racing will be teaming up with the Outback Steakhouse, located at 7525 US 31 South, for an awesome opportunity to display the actual  Good To Go NAPA Batteries Top Alcohol Funny Car.  John will be signing autographs for all the customers and hopes to enhance the “Outback” experience. There will be opportunities for pictures with the car and John, as well as raffles for team Lombardo Race apparel.

 Friday, August 31st, the team will get the car ready for the first two qualifying assaults at 12:00pm and 3:00pm. After the excitement of being back in the car and charging at 260mph John will be honored to throw the first pitch and help team mascot "Rowdie" usher in the Indianapolis Indians last regular season Baseball game.  This will take place at Victory field, located within White River State Park on the southwest side of downtown Indianapolis, at 7:15 p.m.  Immediately following his pitching debut he will be signing autographs in the concourse and handing out Outback Steakhouse blooming onion coupons.

Saturday, September 1st Rowdie will be joining John at the track and making a special appearance for an autograph session scheduled at 1:30pm at the team Lombardo Race Trailer.  "Drag Racing for NAPA, Lucas Oil and the rest of our partners at the U.S. Nationals is a privilege and a pleasure.  Sharing the NHRA excitement with fans at Outback Steakhouse, cheering the Indianapolis Indians into the playoffs, three days of qualifying then battling the best cars in the country on Monday makes the "Big Go" just that.  We'll be ready!"
