Gibbs Racing to take over zMAX Dragway on May 23


News from the Charlotte Media Tour:
  
J.D. Gibbs' youngest son Taylor, 5, will finish treatments for leukemia in April, and Gibbs said the family wanted a way to thank the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Levine's Children's Hospital in Charlotte.
            
To that end, Joe Gibbs Racing announced the Taylor's Finish Line Festival will be held May 23 - the day after the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race - at zMAX Dragway.

Taylor was diagnosed with leukemia three years ago.

"Taylor's treatment, Lord willing, ends this spring," Gibbs said.

"We want to celebrate, to say thank you to Make-A-Wish and to Levine's Children's Hospital."
            
The festival will include activities for children and adults, with more than 40 carnival rides and games, inflatables, hot air balloons, BMX and skateboard exhibitions, appearances by NASCAR drivers and a live concert by Grammy Award-winning artist TobyMac.
            
Tickets will be available through the Charlotte Motor Speedway ticket office, as well as the event Web site. All the money from ticket sales will be donated to Make-A-Wish and Levine's Children's Hospital.
