Highlights

- Campaign provides 40,000 meals per race win in six events

Kalitta Motorsports renews its partnership with DHL Express and Kalitta Air for Race to End Hunger, activating across six NHRA events from September to November to support Feeding America.
The program ties competitive results to relief. Each win by Doug Kalitta, J.R. Todd, or Shawn Langdon triggers a 40,000‑meal donation during the six‑race window.
Across the last four years, the initiative has delivered about 3.75 million meals through Feeding America and its nationwide food‑bank network, establishing a consistent, results‑linked contribution model.
Need remains significant. The USDA defines food insecurity as inconsistent access to enough food for a healthy, active life, affecting nearly 48 million Americans, including more than 14 million children.
About 3.75 million meals have been donated through the campaign over the past four years.
Applied Innovation, Brown & Miller Racing Solutions, Champion, Dayco, Fifth Third Bank, Mac Tools, New Image Building Services, and PJH/Superior back the campaign, broadening its funding and visibility.
40,000 meals are pledged for every Kalitta Motorsports race win across the six‑event stretch.
Recent form adds momentum, notably after victories detailed in the Kalitta, Todd, Ganderson wins report, strengthening the probability of multiple race‑linked donations.
The sequence opens with the Cornwell Quality Tools NHRA U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis, September 4‑7.
Further stops follow: Martin, Michigan, September 18‑20; Rockingham, North Carolina, September 25‑27; Madison, Illinois, October 2‑4; Ennis, Texas, October 16‑18; Las Vegas, October 30‑November 1.
A recent milestone underlines scale. On November 14, 2025, DHL and Kalitta Motorsports funded two million meals with Feeding America and the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank at Pomona.
Each $1 donated helps provide at least 10 meals; donors enter a 2027 NHRA VIP experience drawing.
Fans can scan QR codes at tracks or donate online. Each contribution enters a drawing for a 2027 NHRA VIP experience at a race of their choice.
September remains Hunger Action Month, a Feeding America initiative since 2008 that mobilizes partners to raise awareness and provide assistance nationwide.
DHL executive Nemer Abohasen, Kalitta Air’s Heath Nicholl, and driver Doug Kalitta highlight daily need and urge donations, emphasizing families and children most exposed to food insecurity.
The campaign integrates with broader NHRA storytelling through posts, updates, and at‑track promotions, including Kalitta Air’s attention‑grabbing Brainerd debut and developments like the Randy Meyer debut.
The objective is sustained, results‑driven support delivered alongside on‑track performance throughout the six‑event run.
