Assistant professor Chris J. Holley was able to interact with several Army officers and soldiers; he also met Mike Lewis, vice president of DSR, and Tony Schumacher, Don's son and a driver of one of the group's eight nitro-burning drag cars. Those eight teams have accumulated more than 250 wins and close to 20 championships over the years, and Tony Schumacher has won the Top Fuel championship eight times during the 15 years he has been sponsored by the Army. In addition to being a guest and a recognized Army "center of influence" – someone who meets with a target audience that includes educated young men and women – Holley was selected as a ceremonial crew member for the Army team for the day. "That was quite an honor," he said.
