BROWNSBURG, Ind. -- Riley Top professional drag racers including eight-time NHRA Top Fuel world champion Tony Schumacher will join other members of Don Schumacher Racing, drag racing fans and friends on Dec. 6 (Wednesday) to help further the outstanding programs at Riley Hospital for Children and Riley Children's Foundation during DSR's eighth annual "This is How We Roll for Riley Kids" bowling event presented by U.S.A. Compression.

Fans and Riley families will bowl with NHRA drag racers Schumacher, Antron Brown, Tommy Johnson Jr., Leah Pritchett, and Kaliita Motorsports' Shawn Langdon for a fun evening at the spacious 80-lane Western Bowl bowling center at 6441 W. Washington Street in Indianapolis. The evening begins at 6:30 p.m. with registration and food service followed by opening ceremonies at 7:30 p.m. and then three games of "strike-or-nine/no-tap" at 7:40 p.m.

Riley Children's Foundation receives all proceeds from the event which features the fun No-Tap scoring format where nine pins down on the first ball also scores as a strike.

The goal is to better last year's total contribution of nearly $23,000 that includes $1,900 raised in a 50/50 drawing. The Bowling for Riley event officially begins with the traditional rolling of the first ball(s) by several Riley Kids.

Bowlers can enter individually for $40 or as a four-person team for $150 in advance at mailto: elliottb@shoeracing.com or between 6:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Wednesday. The fee includes a special event t-shirt, shoe rental and VIP access to the Hall of Fame private room for food and soft drinks. Admission for non-bowlers is $10 for those 13 or older while kids 12 and younger are admitted free with a paying adult.

NAPA AUTO PARTS, Papa John's Pizza and the Coca-Cola Bottling Co. are catering the VIP room.
