Celtic Racing drives for Operation Motorsport

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

The Celtic racing team will be partnered up and driving in honor of Chad Failing, a US Army Veteran and Operation Motorsport beneficiary!

**Chad served 10 years in the US Army, with 2 combat tours in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, New Dawn and Enduring Freedom. He has been deployed to Kuwait/Iraq with 1/1 15th sustainment 142nd CSSB, 377th heavy truck. His tour to Afghanistan was with the 82nd Airborne 4th Brigade 2/508th. He also served one overseas tour at camp Casey South Korea. **

Chad talking about his first activation with a pro racing team “Operation Motorsport has given me a different outlook during my transition to healing and recovery. I’ve felt as if I’m family from day one. The process to recovery and healing may be a short road but with a family like this you’ll never be lonely on that road.”

_This race made me truly feel like one of the guys on the team. I was giving a diverse set of jobs and held accountable to ensure the team would meet our goals. I learned that I worked to earn the respect of the team. _

Operation Motorsports was a blessing in disguise for me. When I look back to my first day as a beneficiary I was lost and looking for something that would remind me I wasn’t done in life. Working hand in hand with everyone associated with Operation Motorsports gives me hope knowing that I have others like me I can turn to. Even when we’re away from the races, we’re there for each other.”

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!
