This week on Inside ChampCar, we sit down with AJ and Rebecca Jackson of The Follow-On Mission, a nonprofit that brings Adrenaline Therapy to combat veterans and first responders battling PTSD and depression—through grassroots endurance racing.

AJ, a retired U.S. Army Special Forces veteran, founded the organization to give those struggling after service a new kind of mission—immersing them in the fast-paced world of motorsports to reconnect, heal, and thrive. Alongside Rebecca, they’ve built a program that transforms lives one race weekend at a time.

We talk about the inspiration behind the organization, how veterans are integrated into the race team, and the profound impact racing has had on participants. If you’ve ever wondered how racing can be more than just a sport, this episode will open your eyes—and maybe your heart.
