    Follow a Dream founder Jay Blake joins WFO Radio for a Special Announcement

    Tune in to WFO Radio at 1 pm ET for an electrifying livestream featuring NHRA drag racing racer and motivational speaker Jay Blake! Known for his incredible journey and leadership of the Follow A Dream racing team, Jay will drop an exclusive update about his squad’s latest move in the sport of NHRA Drag Racing. Jay Blake’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary—a testament to resilience, passion, and the power of the human spirit. In 1997, Jay, then a skilled mechanic and crew chief, suffered a life-altering accident when a tire exploded at the auto shop where he worked, leaving him completely blind at the age of 31. Despite this devastating setback, Jay refused to let his dreams stall. Driven by his lifelong love for motorsports, he transformed adversity into fuel for an inspiring comeback. Just two years later, in 1999, he founded Follow A Dream, Inc., a non-profit dedicated to showing others that obstacles don’t have to define your limits. With unyielding determination, Jay returned to the world of NHRA drag racing—not just as a participant, but as a team owner and crew chief of the Follow A Dream Top Alcohol Funny Car team. His hands-on leadership, guided by his remaining senses and deep mechanical expertise, has propelled the team to compete at the highest levels of the sport. Beyond the racetrack, Jay has become a sought-after motivational speaker, sharing his story of overcoming blindness to pursue his passion. His message resonates far and wide: with focus and perseverance, anyone can follow their dreams, no matter the odds. Jay Blake’s journey isn’t just about racing—it’s about rewriting what’s possible, one quarter-mile at a time. Hosted by Joe Castello, this episode will also fire up your excitement with a preview of the upcoming NHRA Arizona Nationals.
