For the second time in as many years, Dead on Tools came on board to sponsor the Speediatrics Fun Day Festival program – this time for our event with the Martinsville & Henry County Family YMCA at Martinsville Speedway.
As part of the program, children from the YMCA were able to participate in our in healthy living curriculum created in partnership with Kaulig Racing, introducing them to NASCAR while encouraging them to adopt the same healthy habits employed by NASCAR drivers and pit crew members to see success on the race track.
“We are so appreciative of Dead On Tools’ commitment to making an impact on our racing communities,” said Nichole Krieger, The NASCAR Foundation’s Vice President and Executive Director. “They have been such a wonderful partner of the Foundation’s, supporting initiatives like the Speediatrics Fun Day Festivals, which are in 12 markets this year.”
Now in its seventh year, The NASCAR Foundation’s Speediatrics Fun Day Festival brings the sport of NASCAR to life for children ages 7 – 12 through a specialized curriculum and a NASCAR-themed at-track festival held during NASCAR race weekends in select markets each year. The program is a part of the Foundation’s Speediatrics Children’s Fund, which supports needs expressed by hospitals, specialty clinics, camps and other organizations providing children’s medical and healthcare services.
This is the second time Dead On Tools and The NASCAR Foundation have partnered together for a Speediatrics Fun Day Festival. The last time was in May 2022 at Darlington Raceway.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled to be partnered up with The NASCAR Foundation again,” said Brian Ranallo, Dead On Tools Marketing Manager. “The event in Darlington was outstanding, and we are extremely excited to give back to the Martinsville community!”
Also joining us for the event were Martinsville Speedway Track President Clay Campbell and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series drivers Tanner Gray, Dean Thompson and Corey Heim, who went on to win Friday evening’s truck race at Martinsville Speedway!
Thank you to everyone who came out to support our event!
