ARPCA Daves races for Operation Motorsport

Support your favorite endurance team and read about the Veteran they are racing with!

The ARPCA Daves racing team will be partnered up and driving in honor of Dale Newbury, a Canadian Armed Forces veteran and Operation Motorsport beneficiary!

Dale retired as a Corporal in the Canadian Forces after 20 years of service. Dale says _“The biggest challenge I had when leaving the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF)….I struggled with an identity crisis which led to a major depression. For almost 20 years I was a part of a team with a very definite end goal, and I knew my role in that team, from the two man fireteam, to the company, to the unit, and the entire CAF. I was now facing being alone and not having any real direction in life, no more team or teammates…..and no other reason to be, other than trying to get healthy again. When there is no uniform anymore, every soldier struggles, some more than others, with how they will “fit” in. OpMo helps with exposure therapy … the noise of the track. Also with the isolation issues many returning veterans deal with. You are meeting new people. There is team work as in the military. It teaches you to do the best you can in a new situation.”_

These drivers will do their best to race hard and complete as many laps as possible to help aid in the recovery and rehabilitation of these US/Canadian heros!
