Today, May 15th, 2009 is NASCAR Day! Here is what this means: NASCAR day, held on the Friday before the All-Star race every year, is the day where the NASCAR community celebrates the sport and all the sport does. On NASCAR day, a telethon and rally is held in Charlotte, North Carolina to raise money for all the charities NASCAR is involved with, such as the Ronald McDonald House, the Children's Miracle Network, Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Awareness, Habitat for Humanity and many more. Also, on this day drivers, owners, crew chiefs, and officials usually make contributions to NASCAR's main charity: Victory junction Camp, run by one of NASCAR's first families: The Pettys. This camp was set up by Kyle Petty after his son Adam was killed in a racing accident. It was always Adam's dream to help kids with special needs, and at this camp, children with special needs from around the country can come, free of charge, to have fun for a week. Also, many drivers have their own foundations that are recognized and donated to on NASCAR Day. Finally, on this day the past, present, and future of the sport is celebrated.
