    YNOT Racing /St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Challenge

    Grand Junction, Colorado- YNOT Racing is proud to announce the YNOT Racing/St. Jude Children's Hospital Challenge to raise funds and awareness to benefit St. Jude Children's Hospital at both the Seattle and Sonoma NHRA National events. YNOT Racing will pledge funds per run at both events to benefit St. Jude. YNOT Racing challenges all competitors in all classes to do the same Torco Race Fuels has joined YNOT Racing and announced that they will make the first pledge to support the challenge in any way they can. At the end of the two event challenge, YNOT Racing and Torco Race Fuels will formally announce, during a ceremony at the YNOT pit, the total funds raised by the racers and sponsors. 100 percent of all funds raised will directly benefit ALSAC St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

    St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in finding cures and saving children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. Founded by late entertainer Danny Thomas and based in Memphis, Tenn., St. Jude freely shares its discoveries with scientific and medical communities around the world. No family ever pays for treatments not covered by insurance, and families without insurance are never asked to pay. St. Jude is financially supported by ALSAC, its fund-raising organization. For more information, please call 1-800-954-5499 or visit www.stjude.org

    Janna Beebe-Price representing Torco Race Fuels stated that “We are honored that YNOT Racing presented us with the opportunity to participate in the YNOT St. Jude Challenge. So often we take our own blessings for granted, and we are presented with opportunities such as this to make a difference. We feel the heart strings tugging yet we don't act on what are heart is telling us. Now, we are presenting you with another opportunity, and we ask that you follow what your heart is telling you. Whether you participate with a financial donation or take from this some knowledge to spread awareness. You are making a difference in a child's life. A difference that is immeasurable."

    YNOT owner/driver Jim Whiteley is looking to bring attention to this great cause as well. "St. Jude has been near and dear to my family's heart for along time and we have financially supported St. Jude both personally and through our companies. I'm excited about seeing what we can do on this project with the help of all the great teams and drivers in the NHRA series it will be a success."

    A formal pledge/donation form will be distributed to the teams for participation. St. Jude will coordinate the collection of the pledges and donations.
