A KID AGAIN GUEST AURORA LUNA WOWED AT FOUR-WIDE NATIONALS
CHARLOTTE – For the second consecutive race this season Kalitta Motorsports hosted a special guest at the races. Today Aurora Luna, an 
11-year-old from Concord, North Carolina, along with her parents, Aly and Tim, and two of her siblings Josh (14), and Mia (8) spent the day with Kaliita Motorsports drivers Doug Kalitta, Shawn Langdon and J.R. Todd. Aurora enjoys watching racing with her dad and her mom has fond memories of Aurora being propped up in her highchair as early as six months old clapping and watching races with her family. Today she was able to sit in Doug Kalitta’s Autodesk Toyota Top Fuel dragster and talk with all the drivers about what it is like to race at speeds over 330 miles per hour.
“Today was so much fun,” said Aurora, who also enjoys makeup, fashion, singing, and dancing. “The drivers were very nice. This was a fun day with my family and I want to thank J.R., Doug and Shawn for making me feel special.”
Through their ongoing partnership with A Kid Again, a nonprofit organization fostering hope, happiness and healing for children facing life-threatening conditions and their families, Kalitta Motorsports will host children and families like Aurora throughout the 2022 NHRA season at select events. At two and half years old, Aurora began having episodes where she would pass out and experience an extremely low heart rate. Over the next several years of visiting multiple doctors and adding new symptoms, one of her doctors suggested a scan to try to pinpoint what was going on. At 6 years old, Aurora was diagnosed with Periventricular Nodular Heterotopia. This is a brain malformation where the neurons have not spread to the gray matter. This causes epilepsy and seizures, both of which Aurora battles with each day.
KALITTA MOTORSPORTS TO HOST A KID AGAIN SPECIAL GUEST AT HOUSTON’S SPRINGNATIONALS
BAYTOWN, TX – Continuing a tradition that started in 2021 Kalitta Motorsports will host a special guest this weekend at the NHRA 
SpringNationals at Houston Raceway Park. Through their ongoing partnership with A Kid Again, a nonprofit organization fostering hope, happiness and healing for children facing life-threatening conditions and their families, Kalitta Motorsports will welcome Greyson Moreida, age 10 from Houston, Texas, along with his father and grandfather on Saturday, April 23.
Greyson will spend Saturday at the races with Kalitta Motorsports drivers Doug Kalitta, J.R. Todd and Shawn Langdon as well as the rest of the three-team operation. He has courageously been battling Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, a condition where his left ventricle did not develop normally. Three surgeries before he turned four and an additional surgery in 2019 to replace his neo aorta have helped keep his heart working but none of the procedures are a cure. As a patient at Texas Children’s, the top cardiac hospital, Greyson has received excellent care from his surgeon and cardiologist, Dr. McKenzie and Dr. Altman.
Kalitta Motorsports Celebrates A Kid Again on Busy Saturday at Norwalk Nationals
NORWALK, OH – Today Kalitta Motorsports hosted Chase Kulik, a 15-year old who suffers from Cystic Fibrosis as a guest of A Kid Again, a 
national nonprofit organization fostering hope, happiness and healing for children facing life-threatening conditions and their families. Chase and his family enjoyed a day at the NHRA Summit Racing Equipment Nationals that included a pit tour, driver meet and greet and the opportunity to stand on the starting line during the junior dragster exhibition runs prior to the final pro qualifying session.
”Having Chase and his family enjoy a day at the races with Kalitta Motorsports exemplifies what we’re all about at A Kid Again,” said Oyauma Garrison, President and CEO of A Kid Again. “I’m so excited Chase and his family got to enjoy a day at the races today.”
In addition to Chase enjoying a day at the races with Kalitta Motorsports, Keegan Beverly, a local junior dragster racer, also participated in the junior dragster exhibition and was recognized as an honorary crew member of Kalitta Motorsports this weekend. Earlier this year Keegan saw the announcement about the partnership with A Kid Again and wanted to get involved on his own. He redesigned his junior dragster to support A Kid Again and Kalitta Motorsports was thrilled to celebrate a great kid.
“Today was about Chase and Keegan, two amazing kids,” said Chad Head, Kalitta Motorsports General Manager. “We have enjoyed sharing the NHRA experience with A Kid Again families and we especially wanted to thank Keegan for stepping up to help us promote this great non-profit.”
