National NASCAR Day offered the inaugural ‘Car Wash for Kids’ with more than 40 locations across the country. NASCAR’s largest charitable holiday was able to make an impact on local communities across the country with the help of fans, tracks, sponsor locations and more.

Homestead-Miami Speedway in conjunction with the YMCA of Greater Miami and its Homestead YMCA Family Center, celebrated by those who had donated $10, took a quick lap on Homestead-Miami Speedway, and then pulled into the infield to have their cars washed by YMCA of Greater Miami volunteers and Speedway staff.

Funds raised will help children across the country as well as benefit The NASCAR Foundation. ‘Car Wash for Kids’ is a NASCAR Unites national fundraiser which has a goal of raising $1 million in an effort to better the lives of children.
