“We are excited that Blake is taking Compassion’s name and the cause of kids in poverty to generous and compassionate NASCAR fans,” says Mark Hanlon, senior vice president of Compassion’s USA Group. “When a sponsor supports a child living in poverty, both lives are changed forever. Blake is helping us to change the stories of children living in poverty. And, of course, we’d all love to see him win!”

I am confident that the good and generous folks who are proud to be NASCAR fans will band together to help sponsor at least 2,400 kids leading up to this week’s race.”
