The DSR Open House presented by Pennzoil attracted more than 4,000 fans last year to DSR’s 145,000-square-foot facility and raised a record $65,000 that pushed DSR’s total contributions to over $500,000 for the Riley Hospital for Children.

most popular elements of Indy 500 pre-race festivities and perform at Indianapolis Colts games and other major Indy events.
