Dale Jr. Quote:
“I’ve been involved with the Make-A-Wish Foundation over the last several years. Throughout the year, we get to meet a lot of kids from across the country whose wish is to come to a NASCAR race and meet me. By putting my boat up for this auction, it will give more kids the opportunity to have their wishes come true. It’s a great cause, and I can’t wait to hand the keys off to the new owners of the boat.”
