Drivers Giving back to the Community

At the race this weekend Kasey Kahne brought down a couple kids from Washington State that participated in his Kasey's Juniors program at a local racetrack in Washington State.

HOW MANY KIDS DO YOU BRING DOWN FOR THIS RACE ? "We bring a couple down. Its a deal,Kasey's Juniors. The race track I started racing at is a mini sprint track in Washington. Kids under 16 race there. Last year there was like 20 of them. This year its 30 something that raced. We do a deal with the sportsmanship award. I pay for a lot of their race weekends to help the families out. The sportsmanship award and the kid that wins the points for the season come down to this race with their families. My dad always sets that up. He goes up to that track a couple times a year and hangs out with them and takes pictures."

Kasey is a perfect example of how all the NASCAR drivers give back to their community. NASCAR has its own foundation that supports a varietyof foundations including the Make A Wish Foundation, Dale Earnhardt Foundation, Dale Jarrett Foundation, Ernie Irvan Race2Safety Foundation,The Green Foundation ,The Greg Biffle Foundation ,Hendrick Marrow Program ,The Jeff Gordon Foundation, Jimmie Johnson Foundation,Racing for Literacy,All-American Soap Box Derby,Speedway Children's Charities, and the Victory Juncion Gang Camp, and the list goes on and on.
