There are tracks that mean something… and then there’s this one.
Maple Grove Raceway is where Jay Blake first came back after losing his sight. It’s where the idea for Follow A Dream really took hold. The place where a new path started.
He’s raced here many times in a Top Alcohol Funny Car.
But this year is different.
This is the first time Jay returns with a Nitro Funny Car.
Same track. Bigger dream.
Come by the pits, meet Jay, see the car up close, and be part of a weekend that means more than just racing. Don’t miss the FREE Thursday night Pit Party and autograph session.

Some dreams only last a moment.
A run down the track, a flash of fire, a heartbeat of everything coming together.
But that moment is worth every hour, every setback, every ounce of belief it took to get there.
So you don’t give up, because you never know which moment will make it all worth it.

Seeing the world isn’t about sight, it’s about vision
Jay Blake, the world’s only totally blind crew chief, proves that every day. In the shop, at the track, even in the dark of a trailer, he just gets it done
No limits, just belief, determination, and a dream that keeps moving forward!
