Brookside Motorsports owners Shawn and Donna Matthuis are the creators of the CRA Family Fun Zone, they competed with the CRA Super Series for the first time in 2007 with son Sean Matthuis, who finished second in Rookie Of The Year points and eighth in overall series points. The family traveled from their New Lenox, Illinois home to compete with the series, and wanted a way to involve families more in the series racing events and provide some fun for the kids attending the races. Donna manages the CRA Family Fun Zone along with several volunteers.
