Fund:

There was an unusual contribution Wednesday to a fund set up by Lowe’s Motor Speedway at Charlotte for victims of a fatal spectator accident at the track earlier this month. Trab Crews, a driver in NASCAR’s Goody’s Dash Series, collected $750 during an open house held at his race team’s shop in his hometown of Leoma, Tenn. More than $35,000 has been donated to the fund, set up after three spectators were killed and eight injured when hit by flying debris from a wreck at an Indy Racing League event on May 1. Most of the donations have come from other spectators who asked that their ticket refunds from the race be targeted for the fund( Speed Magazine ) for info on the fund see Jayski’s Racing Charity Page
