NASCAR Cares - And Gives

There are many ways for NASCAR to give back to the world we live in and the success their fans have made possible for them.

Many drivers have contributed to the Pettys Victory Junction Camp, a special camp for special kids with health care needs.

Richard Childress, the owner of Richard Childress Racing, has just committed On July 30 $5 million to start what they plan to be the nation's most comprehensive institute for pediatric trauma in association with Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center.

As if that's not enough, there's an additional $20 million ready to be applied when it's needed to see it through.

It came to the Childress' attention that there was no centralized pediatric trauma focus in the medical world and they were rather surprised that this hadn't happened before now, in these days.

Rather than complain, they did something about it.

I guess they subscribe to the premise of being either part of the problem, or part of the solution. They created a solution. Kudos to the Childress'.
