CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Thursday afternoon on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, more than dozen Hendrick Motorsports employees proudly wore the same red T-shirt.
Across the back of each shirt was one word -- Torchbearer.
The organization took part in two segments of the Unified Relay Across America presented by Bank of America. It's an event that will unify the nation as it delivers the Flame of Hope to Los Angeles for the Special Olympics World Games.
The nationwide relay touches all 50 states, and Hendrick Motorsports was honored to be a part of the Special Olympics movement and pass the flame for inclusion, dignity and respect for all.
