The Kurt Busch Foundation donated $1 million to Victory Junction Camp in a ceremony Friday at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. The donation will fund an indoor 28,000-square foot facility for sports and will be called the Kurt Busch Superdome. “I can’t believe I was able to come together with the Pettys and put this program together. It’s a good launch for the Kurt Busch Foundation and how serious I am about it and the initiative to try to get kids into sports and put a smile on their face at the end of the day. We’ll have some fun with it. I’ve been to the camp quite a bit and this will make it to where I really want to be there and put my hands in the mix and make a difference with the children. When you go to camp and see what Victory Junction Gang Camp is all about, it looks like a candyland to children. It’s very special to me, and to have fun with it is the No. 1 thing. Your heart pours out to them (kids at Victory Junction Camp). They can’t live ordinary lives or sign up for Little League baseball in their community. You feel like you can make a small impact in their lives if they’ve got a place where they can fit in together and all feel welcome.” ESPN covered the announcement, as did SPEED. Two Charlotte TV stations and a Greensboro station were on hand, along with XM Satellite Radio and several local radio stations.(Tom Roberts PR)(5-19-2006)
