Joe Montana, Laila Ali, Bode Miller and Serena Williams have more in common than being champions in their respective sports.They are now part of an Indycar race team, Luczo Dragon Racing that will raise money and awareness for charity during the 2008 Indycar racing season.
Each year, Luczo Dragon Racing partners with 12 champion athletes, to match their #12 Symantec car, and donates approximately half of its racing profits to the charities supported by the athletes. This year’s team of champions is boxer Laila Ali, swimmer Natalie Coughlin, Hall of Fame boxer Sugar Ray Leonard, five-time Pro Bowl quarterback Donovan McNabb, four-time Indy 500 winner Rick Mears, World Champion skier Bode Miller, four-time Super Bowl winner Joe Montana, two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash, NHL star Joe Thornton, four-time World Series champion Joe Torre and tennis greats Serena Williams and Venus Williams.
The LDR community development program was designed to raise money, increase exposure to the sport of auto racing and encourage a philanthropic spirit that inspires others to make an impact in their communities.
