It's NASCAR Day - Are You Going to the Races?

Posted by vpfsnews on May 13, 2009 at 8:45 AM

Did you know that May 15, is NASCAR Day?  Established in 2006, NASCAR Day is now an annual celebration of the NASCAR spirit.  This year, the NASCAR Foundation is asking all fans to donate $5 to support NASCAR-sponsored charities.  All participants will receive a collectible 2009 NASCAR Day lapel pin for their donation.  Click here to get your pin. 

 

This year's charitable cause is Speediatrics, the pediatric care unit at Halifax Medical Center in Daytona Beach, FL.
