‘Chiropractic’ places 39 in NASCAR race

Chiropractic raced toward health — and this time finished in 39th place at the Allstate 400 (formerly known as the Brickyard 400) at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway August 6. The Dodge, partly sponsored by Drs. Oliver Smith II and Tom Georges of El Paso, Texas, bore the tagline, “Chiropractic: Racing Towards Health” on its bumper.

Smith and Georges first entered the car in the 2004 Brickyard 400. That year, it did not qualify for the race. This year, however, the car, driven by Chad Chaffin, qualified 25th out of 50 cars and finished the race at 39, taking home $134,525 in winnings.

“Although we qualified 25th, we ended up starting the race 43rd due to losing our qualifying motor in practice before the race,” said Georges.

Smith and Georges are NASCAR aficionados who race trucks as a hobby. They were featured as a Success Profile in the August 17, 2004, issue of Chiropractic Economics.
