DON SCHUMACHER RACING HOSTS FOURTH ANNUAL OPEN HOUSE SEPT. 4 TO BENEFIT
RILEY HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN

BROWNSBURG, Ind. (Aug. 25, 2009) - For the fourth straight year, Don
Schumacher Racing is teaming up with its NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing
Series sponsors and drivers to provide another spectacular Open House for
NHRA fans and supporters at its Brownsburg, Ind., race shop before the U.S.
Nationals on Friday, Sept. 4, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

With over 5000 attendees expected to go through the doors, the Indy
Hi-Winders Car Club will highlight the event with its popular Car and
Motorcycle Show, as DSR aims to exceed a four-year event total of $75,000 in
funds voluntarily raised for Riley Childrenıs Foundation and Riley Hospital
for Children of Indianapolis.

Visitors will get to tour the expansive 100,000-square-foot racing facility
and receive an early opportunity to meet their favorite DSR drivers, all six
(Tony Schumacher, Cory McClenathan, Ron Capps, Jack Beckman, Matt Hagan,
Matt Smith) of whom will be signing autographs at noon.

As always, attendees will have the chance to win unique racing collectables
through the traditional $5 raffle. DSR will also up the ante this year with
two amazing prizes available by auction. A custom ³The Sarge² Tony
Schumacher Impact! Racing helmet in a unique gold chrome paint scheme for
the 55th running of the U.S. Nationals will be up for bid, as well as an
equally amazing Las Vegas Race Weekend with DSR package provided by The
Stratosphere Hotel and Orbitz.

"We have fans visit our Open House from all over the country," said DSR
owner Don Schumacher. "It means the world to my family, my employees and me
to have so much support from racers, fans, sponsors and volunteers for our
efforts to showcase DSR and raise money for Riley Hospital for Children. Our
goal is to make it bigger every year."

³We are grateful for the ongoing support and generosity of Don Schumacher
Racing,² said Greg Williamson, assistant vice president of development at
Riley Childrenıs Foundation. ³Each year they devote tremendous energy and
time to this open house for the benefit of Riley Hospital for Children. They
show their commitment to children in the funds that they donate as well as
in how they include children in this event and the race. We are honored to
have them as our partner in caring for Indianaıs children.²

DSR has donated $50,000 to Riley Childrenıs Foundation in three years,
thanks to voluntary donations and its race-themed auctions featuring
helmets, autographed crew shirts, tool boxes, collectables and artwork.

For the third year there will be a ³Cacklefest² featuring Nostalgia
Dragsters and Funny Cars, including the Wonder Wagon FC, Super Nova FC,
Nanook Fuel Altered, Rat Trap Fuel Altered, and the Chi-town Hustler.

Visitors can plan on eating lunch on the premises, with a $5 lunch meal
offered. All proceeds go to Riley Hospital for Children. For further
information, contact Don Schumacher Racing, 317-858-0356.
