RICHMOND, Va. — NASCAR champion Joey Logano took time away from the track to support area students before competing in tonight’s Cookout 400 at Richmond Raceway.
The three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion partnered with STEP Richmond for a back-to-school drive benefiting the Gilpin Court community. STEP Richmond, which stands for Strategies to Elevate People, has been serving the Gilpin Court public housing community for over 35 years.
Each year, STEP hosts a resource fair where backpacks and essential school supplies are distributed to local children.
Logano partnered with the Good Feet Store, which was also present at the giveaway event. The company says it will be donating a portion of its sales to support STEP Richmond.
“It’s a way for our race team, for ourselves to give back, right? God’s given us a great opportunity to drive race cars,” Logano said. “I say it all the time: I get to live my dream out. And you can do a lot more than just driving in circles, if you can take that opportunity and do some bigger things with it.”
