Question

What charity or charity events is your favorite driver involved in/with?

Answer 1

Elliott Sadler has his own charity, the Hermie and Elliott Sadler Foundation

Answer 2

It's hard to find a lot about Matt Kenseth, although he did participate in Kyle Petty's "Charity Ride Across America" and Tony Stewart's "Prelude To The Dream" charity events.  Carl Edwards is also elusive.

Greg Biffle has the "Greg Biffle Foundation" which raises money for animal shelters and humane societies across America.

To reverse this question, my favorite charity, The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, recently honored Jeff Gordon for 10 years of service to the charity.  I'm really going to have to give that Rainbow warrior more credit.

Just because I didn't list much for some of these drivers, all are active in the NASCAR Foundation, which helps several charities, and is the father charity of all the teams'/drivers' charities.

Very interesting question!

Answer 3

The one where all 43 drivers at any given race help me pay off my student loan.

Oh... what, that hasn't happened. But, if it did, Then that would be my favorite charity.

But honestly, I dont recall what driver it was. I was watcing a race in '97. During one of the breaks, a driver did a plug for Random acts of Kindness. Just do something nice for a stranger. I have tryed to do that in my life, by helping someone out, with out question or trying to gain something.

Answer 4

One thingI really like about nascar is that most drivers are involved with charity work of one kind or another. I respect all of them and applaud the great work they do.

Answer 5

so many have charities but i would have to say Kyle Ketty and his motorcycle  Charity Ride Across America for the Victory Junction Camp..he started this right after his son Adam died in a crash during practice and the Camp was Adam's dream and this is one of the biggest rides across country with a lot of Nascar Drivers as members who ride along and have contributed to this worthy cause.

So many others have great charities, so hard to pick just one

Answer 6

Jimmie Johnson had his annual golf tournament for the Jimmie Johnson Foundation already and I know he participated in a bowling benefit for the Victory Junction Gang Camp.  He also raced in the Prelude to a Dream, at Smoke's race to benefit a bunch of charities.  He is very active in his charitable work, not only for his own foundation but for many others, as are most of the drivers in NASCAR.  I cannot think of another sport where the particpants are as involved with charitable organizations as the drivers are.  From the owners to the fans, the people involved in NASCAR are great about giving what they can.
