McMurray to Team with NASCAR Foundation and the American Red Cross

CONCORD, N.C. (Feb. 4, 2010) – Jamie McMurray, driver of the No. 1 Bass Pro Shops / Tracker Boats Chevrolet in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, has joined the Haiti Earthquake Relief efforts by donating 10 driver firesuits and two leather jackets worn and autographed by McMurray for an online charity auction hosted by The NASCAR Foundation on NASCAR.com. The Earnhardt Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates driver joins a growing NASCAR community sending relief to victims of last month’s devastating Haiti earthquake through the American Red Cross.

“My heart goes out to all the people of Haiti,” said McMurray, who served as a co-host on NASCAR’s Haiti Earthquake Relief Special on Speed TV. “The outpouring of support by the NASCAR community has been tremendous so far and we hope this auction continues to keep our hearts and minds on Haiti as they start to rebuild from the rubble.”

Created in 2006, the foundation was formed to promote awareness of, and raise funding for, research, education and support for individuals and families affected by autism. The JMF is dedicated to bringing the financial backing and support of the NASCAR community, together with the passion and commitment of the autism community to promote better understanding of this challenging disability.
