Heads up race fans.....

Friday night's ToyotaCare 250 @ Richmond will be broadcast on ESPNEWS. Tune in if you get it. Set your DVR's if you need to.
 
I love RIR but I am not looking forward to all the rehashing of last fall's cheating debacle. I'm sure Bowyer and MWR are dreading it as well.

Stanley, thru Ace Hardware Fdn, to donate $1M to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals if Ambrose wins RIR; $500,000 if 2nd, $250,000 if 3rd

Who here thinks Stanley's money is safe? I hope Children's Miracle Hospital has a backup plan.

Unfortunately, I think that the big money is safe.

However, it bugs me when a high roller like Stanley makes a charitable contribution contingent on something like the results of a race.

If you've got the money, just give it up already.

Exactly. It would have been nice to see them throw up another number for outside the top 3 finishing spots. Maybe the whole story isn't being told?

The opportunity for Ambrose to race for an additional donation continues to prove the dedication that Stanley, DEWALT and the Ace Hardware Foundation have towards the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and the "Racing for a Miracle" program. As in years past, Stanley and DEWALT have already pledged $100,000 to the program this year. It brings the total to over half a million dollars since the program's inception.

This is from last year... but I assume its the same sort of deal.. $100'000 donation and if he gets a top 3 additional donations of those values.
