FDNY Racing
FDNY Racing, formerly named Jim Rosenblum Racing, Jocko's Racing, Linro Motorsports, and Golden Annie Racing, is an American professional stock car racing team that competes in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, fielding the No. 28 Chevrolet Silverado part-time for Bryan Dauzat.
FDNY Racing consists of volunteers from the New York City Fire and Police Departments, with all winnings earned being donated to the Uniformed Firefighters Association Widow's and Children's Fund.
Jim Rosenblum (born January 9th, 1940), a native of Mamaroneck, New York, was a street drag racer in his youth. After being inspired by friend and 1960 Indianapolis 500 winner Jim Rathmann, he began competing in the Trans-Am Series in the 1960s, later winning a championship. He began owning stock car teams in 1968.
Rosenblum operates FDNY Racing with his own money. To continue running the team, in 2005 he cashed in his life insurance policy. His brother Norman, the former mayor of Mamaroneck, also works on the team.
In 2004, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg awarded Rosenblum the New York Post's Liberty Medal Award. Four years later, he was named an Honorary Battalion Chief by the FDNY.
During the 1980s, Rosenblum formed Linro Motorsports, which began fielding cars in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series for friend Jocko Maggiacomo in 1983. He drove for the team until he was involved in a serious wreck at Pocono Raceway in 1988. In his place, Rosenblum hired sports car veteran Oma Kimbrough as a road course ringer for the Watkins Glen International races, which he ran in the No. 13 from 1989 to 1991.
Linro later established the Golden Annie Racing banner, which Randy LaJoie raced under at the turn of the decade. Other Cup drivers for Rosenblum included Eddie Bierschwale, Gary Balough, Jeff McClure, Bob Schacht and Kerry Teague until 1993 with No. 13, 27 and 29. Rosenblum's team had a best finish of 24th, accomplished twice by Maggiacomo and Kimbrough at Pocono and Watkins Glen, respectively.
After the creation of the Truck Series, Rosenblum fielded Cup and Truck teams until he shut down the former due to rising costs.
