LONG POND, Pennsylvania – Santino Ferrucci drives what can be considered an exotic car in the NTT IndyCar Series in his No. 19 Cly-Del Honda for Dale Coyne Racing in Sunday’s ABC Supply 500.

Saturday morning, he leads a rally group of exotic sports cars to Pocono Raceway in a charity rally that begins in his hometown of Woodbury, Conn., and ends with a lap around the 2.5-mile triangle.

The 21-year-old Ferrucci and his father helped organized the rally, which will raise money for Dream Ride and Hometown Foundation. The rally includes 20 cars with a collective worth of more than $2 million. Among the high-performance machines are a McLaren 720S, Ferrari F430, pair of Lamborghini Gallardo’s, pair of Porsche GT3s, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Audi R8, BMW 850i, Dodge Viper and a Chevrolet Corvette C7 ZR1.

The rally route started at 9 a.m. ET from ACI Dynamix in Seymour, Conn., and traveled through Oxford, Conn.; Carmel Hamlet, Mahopac and Montgomery, N.Y.; and Lehman Township, Penn., before heading into Long Pond, the home of Pocono Raceway.

Ferrucci will join the group on the final leg in his Honda Civic Type R to escort them into the track at approximately 2 p.m. ET. Pocono Raceway will treat the auto rally participants to parade laps on the track at 3:30 p.m.

“The rally came about when we were at Texas Motor Speedway and sat down with some INDYCAR officials to talk about ways to promote the series, drivers and the tracks,” Ferrucci told NTT INDYCAR Mobile. “Pocono is the race closest to my home and I thought it would be pretty cool because I have a lot of guests coming if I could find a way to help create something with them to create awareness to the series and the race.

“The rally, which I’ve done quite a few before, seemed like a very good idea how to get some sports cars there to help create awareness and entice some people to come out there and watch.”

The rally will arrive at Pocono just after NTT IndyCar Series qualify and before final practice. Ferrucci will meet them on the final leg and lead them into the track. ACI Dynamix officials will meet the rally and lead the group into the Poconos.

“The key parts in a rally is getting a group of cars together, then you put a route together,” Ferrucci said. “My partner, Bryce Atkins, and I found waypoints of cool destinations to drive thought and stop at along the way. Bryce will drive the lead car, a GTR, and everyone will follow him down the backroads. Everyone has walkie-talkies and can talk to each other and we have meeting points in case someone gets lost because following 20 cars in a rally can be tough.”

Ferrucci drives a Honda Civic Type R for his daily ride as well as an Acura MDX as his two personal vehicles. He has done some rallies in the past and has driven sports cars owned by his friends. He participated in the Cannonball Rally from Detroit to Colorado in a five-day rally.

“It’s massive,” Ferrucci said. “There is a car rally every month in the Northeast, but it’s hard to find a good car rally because you want to go out with people that you like and trust and know how to drive a car somewhat well. You also want to rally with all types of cars going up to $400,000 McLarens. It’s not only what kind of car you have, but how you interact as a family and a group, which is really important as well.”

The rally also benefits a charity in the Dream Ride, which benefits Special Olympics and is held every year at the Farmington, Connecticut Polo Grounds. Special Olympians are flown in from around the world.

“We take Special Olympians in our cars and take them on a five-mile rally around our towns and try to raise a ton of money,” Ferrucci said. “Last year, we were able to raise a few million dollars. Every year, the goal is to grow Dream Ride and make it more of an even for people to come and see and donate and spend their time with athletes. We want to spread it into New York and into the Poconos and can do it with the help of INDYCAR.

“We are going to give back by bringing these cars to the rally from the Dream Ride as well.”
