Following Thursday night’s qualifying session, defending Cup Series champion, Jimmie Johnson, endorsed NASCAR’s Camping World West race, labeled the “Jimmie Johnson Foundation 150”, in support of – obviously – the Jimmie Johnson Foundation. Johnson’s wife, Chandra, served as the Grand Marshall for the race while Jimmie himself drove the pace car.

Four-time Series champion, Jeff Gordon, connected with the Make-A-Wish Foundation for more than the 200th time since he first became a member in 1995. He granted a 15-year-old sickly child named Joshua from New York his lifelong wish of meeting Gordon, who spent a few hours of his day getting to know him. Joshua also got to watch the weekend’s events from a suit, courtesy of Gordon. The Jeff Gordon Foundation reportedly makes rather hefty annual donations to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

In Other News:
- Veteran driver, Ken Schrader, hasn’t raced in the Sprint Cup Series since finishing 37th at Martinsville – largely due to a lack of sponsorship on the hood of his no. 49 BAM Racing Toyota Camry. That hasn’t stopped the wily Missourian from racing altogether, though. Schrader competed in the ARCA / Re-Max Series’ Kentuckiana Ford Dealers 200 at Salem Speedway in Indiana on Sunday. Schrader finished runner-up to eventual race winner, Justin Allgaier, who made the pass on Schrader with just 36 laps left. Ken has won eight ARCA races since 2000.
