NASCAR and Country Music Together Again
The charitable foundation of NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series driver Tony Stewar held its first benefit concert Wed., Oct. 6 Paducah KY. The Tony Stewart Foundation Benefit Concert featured Diamond Rio and Trace Adkins, along with guest appearances by NASCAR stars Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kyle Petty. Part of the money will go to local charities in and around the Paducah area, while the rest of the money will go to Kyle and Pattie Petty's Victory Junction Gang Camp in Randleman, N.C." Over $275,000 was raised. Turn about is fair play...Diamond Rio hosted a golf tournament that raised $155,000 for charity, and nobody even finished the last 17 holes. The second annual Arby's Charity Tour Nashville that took place Monday (Oct. 18) in Nashville was cancelled because of rain after golfers had completed the first hole. Players then headed inside the clubhouse for a golf trivia challenge that found NASCAR driver Tony Stewart claiming second place. The charity event for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Middle Tennessee and the Arby's Foundation also included a charity dinner and auction.
