The daughters of some of the most prominent drivers competing in this week’s 71st NHRA U.S. Nationals at Indianapolis Raceway Park will assemble Sunday morning to support the Princess Pink Lemonade Stand from which beverages will be poured in return for cash donations to Riley Childrens’ Hospital.
The distinctive dispenser of cool quaffs was built by Torrence Racing crew chief Bobby Lagana Jr. and his friends and will be set up Sunday morning from 9-10 a.m. in the CAPCO Contractors compound in the pro pits.
The young “Ladies of Lemonade” participating in this year’s event include Sofia and Ella Arana, the six and three-year-old daughters of 19-time Pro Stock Motorcycle winner Hector Jr. and his wife Nicole, and Haven Torrence, the four-year-old daughter of four-time Top Fuel World Champion Steve and his wife Natalie.
Others making a return appearance to the Lemonade Stand are Aubrey Coughlin, 4, daughter of Pro Stock standout T.J. and his wife Brenna; Londyn Hart, 5, daughter of two-time Top Fuel winner Josh and his wife Brittanie; Averi Michalek, 4, daughter of Top Alcohol Dragster driver Corey and his wife Christine; Vera Wilkerson, 7, daughter of second generation Funny Car driver Daniel and his wife Brianne; and Olivia Martin, 7, daughter of Torrence Racing cylinder head specialist Kris and his wife Amanda.
Making her Princess Pink Lemonade Stand debut will be Kamy Gadson, daughter of 2025 Pro Stock Motorcycle World Championship contender Richard and his wife Alexis.
“We’re all exited to be able to participate in such an unconventional fundraiser,” said Natalie Torrence, whose company, Innovative Creation Experts, brought the Princess Pink Lemonade Stand concept to fruition. “Our No. 1 goal is to raise money for Riley Childrens’ Hospital, but this is also a great way to help teach our children the importance of caring for others and that hard work still can be fun.”
