We are pleased to announce the 2019 Hometown Hero for Dallas/Fort Worth is Mike Drivdahl, Engineer, Firefighter and Public Information Officer for Fort Worth Fire Department. Drivahl is also President of the Fort Worth Firefighter Charities, and former Director of Fort Worth Professional Firefighters Association (IAFF Local 440).
“The U.S. First Responders Association is thrilled to partner with StarCom Racing and 00 Driver Landon Cassill again to honor another Hometown Hero at Texas Motor Speedway,” said Janet Liebsch, VP of USFRA. “Mike Drivdahl’s work with Fort Worth Fire Department and Fort Worth Firefighter Charities exemplifies the compassion and dedication that area first responders have for Dallas/Fort Worth communities.”
StarCom Racing’s Hometown Hero program helps bring awareness to the efforts of our nation’s first responders and recognizes one responder that has gone above and beyond the call of duty.

In addition to Drivdahl’s daily job as spokesman and fireman for FWFD, Mike Drivdahl is also very involved and engaged with multiple child safety initiatives and community trainings across the city through FWFD and Fort Worth Firefighter Charities.
