NAPA Auto Parts NASCAR Sprint Cup team co-owner Michael Waltrip made a special delivery Saturday night in Colorado. Through a week-long initiative, he along with his NAPA Racing driver Martin Truex Jr., helped their sponsor raise more than $72,000 through a NAPA Know How to Care campaign. The proceeds will help victims of the wildfires which swept across Colorado last month. Waltrip, NAPA management and local store owners delivered the check during ceremonies before Saturday night’s NASCAR K&N; Pro Series West race at Colorado National Speedway. An additional check will be presented with the proceeds raised by online, local NAPA store efforts and at-track fundraising. Waltrip drove the #55 NAPA Knows How to Care Toyota in the event to raise awareness for the NAPA Knows How to Care program. Waltrip signed autographs at a NAPA fundraiser for the disaster relief fund on Friday at the NAPA Denver Distribution Center. NAPA provided free hamburgers and hotdogs to the public. All donations made in person at the fundraiser, Colorado National Speedway, making PayPal donations to the American Red Cross at michaelwaltripracing.com or texting ‘RED CROSS’ to the number 90999 contributed to the effort.(Michael Waltrip Racing)(7-30-2012)
