“This is a neat idea for an extremely worthy cause,” said Yeley, who will partake in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event that weekend at Richmond (Va.) International Raceway. “Anytime, I can take time to meet with my fans, have some fun and raise money for those in need is one of the pluses of being a racecar driver. I’m definitely looking forward to having a blast and raising some contributions for the VCU Massey Cancer Center.”
He added, “I want to personally thank CigRx, who are huge supporters of mine for stepping up and helping make this a reality. And a special thank you to G-Force Karts for offering to serve as the host for the CigRx presents The Race For Research.”
