If you haven't heard what happened last weekend - Case Higgins is a young Jr. Sprint Car driver. His car caught fire during a race, and he was badly burned. His family updated on social media yesterday that he was undergoing surgery and still currently intubated.
This is the type of tragedy that can happen in the sport we love. We know as parents that we can't keep our children contained in a safety bubble, and that any sport carries risks. But when something like this happens, it's heartbreaking and it's terrifying.
Please pray for Case.
In honor of Case Higgins, we’re launching the .
Case continues to fight every day, and our family continues to pray for him and the Higgins family. Our hope is to encourage every racer to practice one of the most important safety skills there is: getting out of the race car quickly in the event of an emergency.
How to participate:
🔹Have someone video you and post it, tagging Factory Fourteen and using .
🔹Challenge 3 other racers to complete the .
🔹Wear all of your safety gear with your belts latched, neck restraint connected, and visor down.
🔹Start with both hands on the steering wheel. The timer begins the moment your hands leave the wheel.
🔹Before unbuckling your belts, turn off all master/power switches on the dash.
🔹Exit the race car as quickly and safely as possible. The timer stops when both feet touch the ground.
It’s important to us that every driver is confident and comfortable getting out of their race car in an emergency. No matter what type of car you race, what class or division you compete in, or your age, we encourage you to participate and help spread awareness.
To encourage as many drivers as possible to get involved, everyone who completes the and follows the rules will be entered into a drawing. Five winners will each receive a Factory Fourteen merchandise bundle valued at over $100 each.
The challenge runs through August 31st, and we’ll announce the winners on September 1st.
Every driver should practice and become comfortable with the skill of safely exiting their race car in case they are in a situation when it’s needed most. We encourage parents, crews, and teams to make it part of their routine.
Please continue to keep Case and the Higgins family in your prayers. We are believing and praying for his continued strength and healing. ❤️
