The official Ronald McDonald House of Indiana sprint car, driven by Jamie Frederickson of Kokomo, Indiana. Jamie and his father Bill compete at various dirt tracks in Indiana. We have met many families, former guests at the House, who regularly attend these events. Frederickson Racing has also organized several fundraising events, including 'Ronald McDonald House of Indiana Nights' at tracks in Montpelier, Gas City, and Peru.

The official sprint race car of the House, car number 58 driven by Jamie Frederickson, was wrecked at the Gas City I-69 Speedway on August 15. Fortunately, Jamie was not injured. The car, however, was too damaged to return to racing.

A new car 58 has since been acquired and will return to racing on August 29 at the Gas City I-69 Speedway. Please join all of us here at the House in thanking Frederickson Racing for their robust efforts to support the House and to draw awareness to our work of helping families with children who are being treated at area hospitals, primarily Riley Hospital for Children.

Please come out and support Jamie at a track near you. You can find him at most sprint races at Kokomo, Gas City and Montpelier.

Remaining 2008 "Ronald McDonald House of Indiana Nights":
Aug 29 at Gas City I-69 Speedway
Sept 20 at Miami County Speedway in Peru
Sept 27 at Montpelier Motor Speedway
