For the third year in a row, fans can help save a life by participating in the Blood and Bone Marrow Drive at the Brickyard on Saturday, July 28 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The Drive will take place from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. in the Hall of Fame Museum East parking lot.
Sponsored by the NASCAR Foundation, the Jimmie Johnson Foundation and the Hendrick Marrow Program, the Drive takes place during the NEXTEL Cup Series Allstate 400 at the Brickyard event weekend. Fans can donate blood for the American Red Cross or sign up for the National Marrow Donor Program's donor list. Everyone who donates blood or joins the marrow donor list will receive a free T-shirt, die-cast car or hat.
Since the Blood and Bone Marrow Drive at the Brickyard is taking place on Speedway grounds, there is a $15 admission fee into the track for the day's activities. Participation in the Drive is free. Track activities for Saturday include qualifying and two practice sessions.
Donor recipients and their families will be on hand to share their stories and to speak with participants. Blood Drop, the official mascot of the American Red Cross, also will attend.
