Michael Waltrip, NASCAR and Swan Racing are teaming up to help bring eyeballs and attention to helping the community of Newtown, Conn., through the Sandy Hook School Support Fund.
Two-time Daytona 500 champion Waltrip will drive the No. 26 Toyota for Swan Racing in the race on Feb. 24, in honor of the 26 victims of the Sandy Hook shooting. His car will carry a decal that will remind fans and race viewers they can text donations to NEWTOWN to 80888.
The effort came about after officials from NASCAR, Swan Racing and Waltrip traveled to Newtown to meet with leaders in the community, first responders and families of the 26 victims.
Waltrip said that going to Newtown and shaking hands and hugging people that were directly affected was an amazing experience. He added that it was very fulfilling to be able to make the people in that community smile and give them something to look forward to.
“The car is beautiful and they loved it,” Waltrip said Thursday at NASCAR Media Day. “They were in disbelief that people would care enough to do what we’re going to do for them.
“As happens a lot in life with me, I felt like actually thanking them for allowing me to come into their world and allowing us to do this. They wanted to thank us for doing it, and that’s a great feeling.”
All monies from the fund, which was established by United Way of Western Connecticut and Newtown Savings Bank, will go toward helping the community heal from the events of Dec. 14, 2012.
Waltrip also confirmed that all three of his Sprint Cup cars will carry the decal for the Daytona 500, as well.
“Driving the No. 26 Sandy Hook School Support Fund Toyota is like nothing I have ever been part of in my NASCAR career,” Waltrip said. “It will be an emotional week knowing that we have the potential to do so much good for the Newtown community. I’m racing for a reason.”
CEO Brian France and his wife announced they will donate $50,000, which the NASCAR Foundation will match.
“That’s $100,000 already, and we just started,” Waltrip said. “And I know our 75 million fans will rally around texting “NEWTOWN” to 80888. We can make a real difference.”
France said he was excited to witness firsthand the NASCAR’s community’s embrace and support of the Sandy Hook School Support Fund.
“Being in Newtown last week and delivering a moment of happiness to that community was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced,” said France. “Looking out at a room of smiling faces amidst the aftermath of a horrible tragedy was very powerful. It hit me that the NASCAR industry and our passionate fan base have an unbelievable opportunity to rally around this cause and make a huge difference for a community in need.”
