Tindle racing with his heart on his firesuit's sleeve  in Atlanta
 
Former JEGS ProMod Challenge winner Tim Tindle will race for a very special  
cause when the tour reaches Atlanta Dragway April 24-27 for the 28th annual 
NHRA  Southern Nationals. Tindle will banner the Alabama/Gulf Coast Chapter of 
the  Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to raise awareness for a disease that has  
stricken his 7-year-old niece Haleigh McRae.
 
"I am very close to my niece Haleigh and until this happened to her, I had  
no idea how many children are affected by this disease," said Tindle, a winner  
of last year's event in Englishtown, N.J. "My family and I want to do 
anything  and everything we can do to help these children. It is an honor and 
privilege to  do this race to benefit this fund, as well as anything else we can do."
 
As part of this special program, Tindle and crew have turned their 1967  
Shelby Mustang GT into a rolling billboard for the Leukemia & Lymphoma  Society. 
Additionally, the entire Tindle Racing crew will wear  specially-designed 
uniforms to help the cause.
 
Tindle is the reigning JEGS ProMod Challenge Rookie of the Year, although  
he's certainly not new to the sport of drag racing. The resident of Santa Rosa  
Beach, Fla., has been bracket racing and participating in big dollar shootouts 
 for 12 years along with his entire family. He owns and operates Tindle  
Enterprises, one of the largest site contractors in the Florida panhandle.
 
Leukemia is cancer of the body's blood-forming tissues, including the bone  
marrow and lymphatic system. It usually starts in the white blood cells. Visit
