NASCAR supports tornado relief efforts

Call to action TV spot will run during Nationwide, Sprint Cup race broadcasts this weekend at Richmond

Through the newly launched NASCAR Unites charitable platform, this weekend the NASCAR community will support disaster relief efforts taking place as a result of this week’s tornado outbreak in the Southeastern part of the United States.

By logging on to NASCAR.COM/Unites fans can support these efforts by volunteering or making a donation.

NASCAR also filmed a call to action television spot earlier Friday featuring Dale Earnhardt Jr., Darrell Waltrip and Mike Helton that will air during tonight’s 24th running of the Bubba Burger 250 NASCAR Nationwide Series race on SPEED and Saturday's’s 57th running of the Crown Royal Presents The Matthew & Daniel Hansen 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race on FOX. Both events will be run at Richmond International Raceway.
