Injured Daddy Dave won’t race, will still greet fans at PDRA event 

MILLINGTON, TN – When the Professional Drag Racing Association rolls up to Memphis International Raceway Boosted GT - Street Outlaws(MIR) on August 20-22 for the Memphis Drags, it will be bringing an extra star of the show “Street Outlaws” with it.

The driver Boosted and his yellow Mustang will now race fellow “Street Outlaws” star Chuck three times during Saturday night’s racing.

Boosted GT will take the place of Daddy Dave in the match race scheduled at the PDRA Memphis Drags.

Daddy Dave was originally scheduled for the match race with Chuck, but Dave suffered injuries and significantly damaged his car at an exhibition earlier in the month. Dave is now on the mend and still plans to be at the Memphis Drags to meet with fans and sign autographs.
