J.R. Todd, driver of the SealMaster Top Fuel dragster, will be attend-ing the Atlanta Braves game
prior to the Summit Racing Equipment Southern Nationals. Todd will meet fans as part of a ticket
promotion, participate in pre-game festivities and give the command 'Play Ball' prior to the Braves
battle with the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday, May 12th.
Todd, an avid baseball fan, is honored to be a part of the game, which comes as the Braves
celebrate their final season at Turner Field.
"I am excited to be able to attend the Braves game, especially in this capacity," said Todd. "It is
a great opportunity to meet the NHRA and Braves fans, and check out some great baseball action.
This is their last season at the historic Turner Field and it is very cool to be able to a part of
that celebration."
A limited number of fans can meet Todd at Turner Field prior to the game. The ticket package, which
includes a game ticket, t-shirt and meet and greet passes, can be purchased here:

"We look forward to welcoming J.R. Todd to Braves Country on May 12," said Adam Zimmer-man, Atlanta
Braves vice president of marketing.
Todd comes into Atlanta in sixth in the Top Fuel standings off of the strength of two semi-final
finishes in Pomona and Las Vegas. The former rookie of the year winner has qualified in the top
half in both of his events in Atlanta with Kalitta Motorsports and is returning to Atlanta Dragway
off of last season's quarterfinal finish.
