Young patients at Memphis-based St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital will literally have a hand in this weekend’s race at Memphis Motorsports Park.
Sixteen cars in the race will carry paint schemes designed by the children. The original “Design a Dream” idea was circulated in the media and received support from St. Jude’s and the track. It will come to fruition in the form of colorful and whimsical takes on each participating team’s normal paint scheme.
Some drivers will visit the hospital on Thursday and enjoy lunch with the children. A few patients will, in turn, come to the track on Saturday and participate in the singing of the National Anthem with the popular country group Diamond Rio.
“This is a great way to help bring awareness and give the kids a chance to be creative on a large scale, ” said Jason Keller (No. 11 InvestLinc Chevrolet).
