CONCORD, N.C. - On Tuesday, Hendrick Motorsports teammates Kasey Kahne, Chase Elliott, Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. launched a disaster relief fund for hurricane victims with a goal of raising $500,000 in two weeks.
The four NASCAR Cup Series drivers and the Hendrick Motorsports organization have committed a combined $200,000 to establish the fund and are now encouraging the public to join the effort by making a donation before midnight ET on Wednesday, Sept. 20.
“Clearly, we’ve had one hurricane that’s been very devastating, and there’s a second one coming now, so the fund is going to be very helpful and useful for a lot of people in need,” Johnson said.
