Two-time Funny Car World Champion Cruz Pedregon and primary sponsor Snap-on\u00ae are turning the Dodge\u00ae Hellcat\u00ae Nitro Funny Car pink for the Texas NHRA Fall Nationals at Texas Motorplex, bringing the \u201cSocket to Breast Cancer\u201d message to race fans during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.<\/p>\n

This is the program\u2019s 12th year, and Snap-on, its franchisees, and customers have raised more than $1.2 million to help breast cancer patients cover essential living expenses during treatment.<\/p>\n

The support goes to the Pink Fund in the United States and the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation in Canada and helps patients manage the financial strain of treatment, including everyday expenses such as transportation needs, which continue when someone is facing breast cancer.<\/p>\n

The special pink paint scheme puts breast cancer awareness on the starting line and shines a spotlight on the practical support available to patients and their families.<\/p>\n

\u201cOctober means it\u2019s time to roll out our special Snap-on\u00ae \u2018Socket to Breast Cancer\u2019 Dodge\u00ae Hellcat\u00ae Nitro Funny Car in support of Pink Fund and breast cancer awareness,\u201d Pedregon says. \u201cEach year, Snap-on creates a new pink paint scheme, and we\u2019ll have matching team gear to show that we stand united in the fight and are proud to give more momentum to the Pink Fund\u2019s work by generating awareness through the largest auto racing organization in the world\u2026the NHRA.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pedregon\u2019s connection to Texas extends beyond the racetrack. Both of his parents were born in the state, and Texas Motorplex has hosted some of his most memorable wins as a driver.<\/p>\n

\u201cDallas has always been special to me. My parents were both born in Texas, in San Antonio and El Paso. And I\u2019ve been fortunate to score some big wins here over the years,\u201d Pedregon says. \u201cWe\u2019ll be ready to rock the pink in Dallas!\u201d<\/p>\n
