Putting on the B.R.A.K.E.S. with Doug Herbert

Boasting 10 NHRA National Event Championship wins, 20 IHRA National Event Championship wins, and 4 Top Fuel World Championship wins, Doug Herbert (@DougHerbert) is widely known for his domination of the drag racing world. Herbert also owns Herbert Cams, which is the only high performance auto parts distributor owned by a Top Fuel driver that sells to NASCAR, professional race teams, and Top Fuel teams. While Herbert keeps his finger on the pulse of everything racing, the project dearest to his heart is his non-profit B.R.A.K.E.S. (Be Responsible and Keep Everyone Safe). Doug started it in 2008 after his two songs, Jon (17) and James (12), were tragically killed in a car accident. B.R.A.K.E.S. is a free, pro-active teen driving school that teaches defensive driving techniques to young drivers in an effort to prevent other families from experiencing a tragedy like this.  An impressive athlete and selfless person, Doug Herbert embodies the spirit and tenacity of drag racing. You can catch Herbert's radio show The Straight Line every Thursday from 12:00-1:00pm EST on The Motor Racing Network.
