What Do Racing Dragsters & Pharmacy Ownership Have in Common? | TWIRx

This week's TWIRx puts the pedal to the metal—literally. Host Todd Eury dives into the surprising parallels between racing 150+ MPH and building a pharmacy business from the ground up. Special guest Charles Hoopes, co-owner of S&H Motorsports, joins the show alongside Stephen Beckman, CEO of YARAL Pharma, to preview the upcoming “Geezer Race” on Saturday, July 19th, sponsored by YARAL.

Charles shares the intense highs and lows of becoming a drag racing team owner—from financial risk to the emotional rollercoaster of chasing a dream. His story mirrors the grit and resilience required to own and operate an independent pharmacy today.
