Randleman, NC (My Sportsbook) - NASCAR's most popular driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr., announced on Monday he is donating $1 million to build and maintain The Dale Jr. Corral and Amphitheater at Victory Junction -- a camp for children with serious illnesses. Earnhardt Jr. revealed his contribution during the camp's kickoff of its "Keeping the Dream Alive" campaign. He plans to be at the camp on March 27 when groundbreaking begins on the project. "There are many reasons why we wanted to get involved with Victory Junction and build this amphitheater, and it starts with the tremendous impact the camp has on these kids," Earnhardt Jr. said. The camp was founded by former NASCAR driver Kyle Petty and his wife, Pattie, in honor of their son, Adam, who was killed during a Nationwide Series practice session in 2000 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. |
