Target Chip Ganassi Racing announced today that drivers Scott Dixon (No. 9 Commit Honda Dallara) and Dan Wheldon (No. 10 Target Honda Dallara) will donate the prize money they earn from this Sunday’s Iowa Corn Indy 250 to the victims of Iowa’s devastating tornados and floods.
“What has happened here in Iowa is an absolute tragedy and my heart goes out to all the victims of the horrific tornados and floods,” said Dixon. “Donating to this cause is the least that we could do and I hope that the race will provide at least a short respite from their struggles.”
“When you see the devastation there you can’t help but feel for all those victims,” said Wheldon. “We as athletes are lucky enough to be in a position to do things like this and I encourage others to do the same."
What a gesture. The men and women of all auto racing around the midwest this weekend did things like this. I know some drivers in milwaukee this weekend did the same. These drivers, one and all are proving they are truely champions. Thankyou to all of them.
A lot of people here needed the help and everyone appreciated the gestures. The women members of my Curve's club were all talking about it. They hadn't watched any of the races, but they had heard about it.
