WDRA FORMS ALLIANCE WITH GOD SPEED MINISTRY
Springfield, IL – The WDRA is proud to announce a new alliance with God Speed Ministry. God Speed Ministry was founded in May of 2004 
as an organization of ‘racers ministering to racers.’ God Speed Ministry has grown from serving one organization to serving eight series in North America. They cover drag races, road races, swap meets, car shows and other outdoor events across the US and Canada. God Speed Ministry seeks to provide spiritual nourishment and growth to the participants, fans and sponsors at these events with non-denominational ministry, emergency response, outreach, speakers/services, and more.
“We want to publicly welcome God Speed Ministry to the WDRA family,” said WDRA founder Don Scott. “God Speed Ministry brings the church to events and connects people to God and each other. Their highly skilled and compassionate chaplains deliver sermons before races as well as pray for and with racers throughout the event.

“The reception for WDRA has been nothing short of overwhelming” said WDRA founder Don Scott. “My phone and the phones of the tracks that make up our Track Advisory Committee have not stopped ringing. The challenges we have chosen to undertake by forming this new organization are being validated by the member tracks that are joining our efforts” said Scott.
World Drag Racing Alliance (WDRA) formed
Mechanicsville, MD – A new drag racing sanctioning body has been formed as the World Drag Racing Alliance (WDRA) is revealed. Under 
the ownership of Don Scott, a former partner at Central Illinois Dragway and successful businessman, the WDRA will fill voids left with recent sanctioning body changes.
“With restrictions placed on some former industry leaders, I have formed the WDRA to continue with successful programs previously known in the industry,” said Don Scott. I’m anxious to be sure that programs that have been successful in the past will continue in the future and therefore I picked up the ball and started a new sanctioning body with the help of several industry veterans.”
I’ve also secured the services of a former sanction body president and multi-track owner, Scott Gardner. Gardner has agreed to a consulting role to help build the foundation of the new organization and to work with all the tracks in securing sanction commitments for 2023. I felt that it was important to have representation from an industry insider that has managed tracks, run successful programs, has a good business relationship with the insurance providers and knows what the important issues are within sportsman racing” continued Scott.
