NASCAR Day.
NASCAR Day.
IF you are not a fan of NASCAR you may soon be. This weekend will be the first live televised sporting event in months! The NFL draft set record numbers this year for viewers and it is quite possible this weekend NASCAR may beat that record.
NASCAR Day was founded in 2003 by the NASCAR foundation, a 501c(3) charity that helps children.
You can check the amazing work they do here https://www.nascarfoundation.org/
Today, please use #NASCARDay when you post in social media.
This weekend is Darlington and NASCAR will be honoring HealthCare workers.
