FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE! Shea Holbrook takes on a new opportunity to race in the IHRA’s Nitro Jam Drag Racing Series in her new General Electric J-85 Jet-Powered Dragster with Larsen Motorsports. Holbrook, known as a Touring Car driver and co-owner of Shea Racing, her family-owned auto racing team in the Pirelli World Challenge looks forward to the unique and exciting new venture. “Excitement doesn’t even express how I feel about this. I’m very grateful to Larsen Motorsports for this tremendous opportunity. Soon I’ll know what it’s like to move at speeds approaching 300 mph, but first I have a lot to learn before I get behind a machine with 4,500 pounds of thrust,” said Shea Holbrook. Holbrook has launched a crowdfunding campaign and marketing initiative to help raise funds to get her license with the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) and the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA). “This campaign was designed to create an opportunity for those who want to get directly involved with the future of my racing career. My goal is to raise an additional $30,000 to help with things like an IHRA and NHRA jet license, safety gear, and other essential equipment. It’s an uneasy feeling asking for help, but the support I received over the years from fans and loved ones has made everything worthwhile. It’s important to me that this campaign is successful and becomes a benchmark for future racers and athletes who want to take control of their own destinies by launching their own campaigns. In my case, I’m turning to you for support,” Holbrook said. The campaign can be found on the Dark Horse Pros website or visit the direct link darkhorsepros/campaigns/75.
