Richard Childress Racing will feature the Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma on the #31 Chevy driven by Jeff Burton at Martinsville Speedway this weekend. ‘We take for granted that the best emergency care for our children is always available, but that is not the case. Critically-injured patients treated in a certified trauma center have a 25% increased rate of survival’ said Richard Childress, president and CEO of Richard Childress Racing and co-founder of the Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma. ‘We wanted to spotlight the need for awareness by running a paint scheme featuring the Institute this weekend.” Nearly 10,000 children die each year due to life-threatening injuries – more than all other causes combined. The Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma invests resources in research, medical education and awareness to improve the treatment for critically injured children across the United States.(RCR), see an image of the car on the #31 team paint schemes page .
