A round of applause for David Baca and Mach 1

I don't know how I missed this!

Baca to host cheering section of 'Jerry's Kids' in Seattle

What an awesome thing to do for these kids. My son goes to MDA Summer Camp each year here in Indiana and he loves it. I can't imagine how excited the kids out there are to be able to spend the day at the track courtesy of David.

Well done, David! And as a parent of a child diagnosed with MD, Thank YOU!

Seems to me like David's got a big heart, but the bravery of some of these children can melt even the hardest of hearts.

I worked with David for many years on his TA/FC and he is a guy who has had to scratch, crawl, sacrafice and work his azz off to get to where he is today... Nothing was ever givin to him... He has a heart of gold and the eye of the tiger... It's a shame he does not get the recognition he deserves or the air time...

Rick Henkelman is Davids crew chief
Mike Henkelman is Ricks son
Rick works on the crew and does marketing for the team I believe... Hope this answers your question and maybe Mike can clear up any errors... Rock on

I also said it wrong, I'm sure he does SOMETHING with the team. I'm tired.

Thanks for clearing that up.

I think Ricks other son Brandon, Mikes brother, actually drove his dad's A/FUEL car for those couple of years in question... Mike, please clear up this mess I got us in...
