NASCAR team steps up for Haiti

[Mopar151]

For the past week, (Rick)Hendrick has been sending two planes a day to Haiti, transporting medical personnel, search and rescue crews and supplies to the ravaged nation.

With the 2010 season less than a month away, NASCAR’s top organization has been as busy helping people in Haiti as it has been preparing cars for the Daytona 500. Pilots have worked around the clock, mechanics have been servicing planes and administrators have coordinated the logistics of Hendrick’s relief efforts.

Carlson estimates that the company has already spent hundreds of thousands of dollars sending planes to Haiti, and the efforts will continue long after the engines fire at Daytona next month.

“ Rick is paying for every bit of it,” Carlson says.
