FOLLOW
A DREAM ANNOUCES NEW DRIVER
Jay Blake's Follow A Dream/Permatex Top Alcohol
Funny Car team has a new driver for the 2010 season: Todd
Veney. "Our whole team is excited to have Todd driving;
he’s a great team player," said Blake, who has
led the team to multiple national event victories since
fulfilling his lifelong dream of owning his own Alcohol
Funny Car team in 2003. Veney drove that first Follow A
Dream car before pursuing his own lifelong dream of fielding
a team with his dad, Ken Veney, in 2004. "It's great
to be back with Jay, Tommy, and everybody," Veney said.
"I've seen Jay's entire operation step up every year
since he got into the sport, and this is going to be the
fastest, best car I've ever raced and the best team I've
ever been on." Veney has been driving since 1995 and
grew up in drag racing, working on his dad's cars as a kid
and writing for NHRA's National Dragster from 1988 to 2007.
Blake's Follow a Dream team will compete from coast to coast,
from Englishtown to Pomona, on a 12-race schedule that includes
eight national events and a full slate of Lucas Oil Drag
Racing Series events.

Tom Howell is back with Blake, the only totally blind crew
chief in all of motorsports, as is the entire Follow A Dream
crew from 2009: Charlie and Joe Mitchell, Ed Parker, Scott
Osborn, Mike Lupo, Rich Fenwick, and Scott Spencer." The
whole team is thrilled to have Todd return to the seat and
we're already gearing up for the 2010 season," said Blake,
who, between racing events, encourages countless thousands
of others across the country through motivational presentations
delivered at technical schools, colleges, and corporate
events, to follow their dreams.
