BROWNSBURG, Ind. (February 28,
2020) – Tony Stewart Store, the official apparel and merchandise
supplier of Tony Stewart Racing, Eldora Speedway, and Smoke, is pleased
to announce that ten percent of combined sales collected throughout the
entire month of March via online store portals and traveling merchandise
trailer will be donated directly to Grady Chandler’s recovery fund and
family.
In addition, Tony Stewart
Foundation, an organization that provides grant funding to
well-qualified organizations serving children who are critically ill or
physically disabled; animals at-risk or endangered; and drivers injured
in the sport of motor racing, has agreed to match the ten percent
gained, which will also be donated directly to Grady Chandler.
Chandler (19) was injured in a
non-wing sprint car accident during a USAC event at Creek County
Speedway in Creek County, Oklahoma, on July 26. The Piedmont,
Oklahoma-native suffered fractures in many of his vertebrae including
his C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5.
Scheduled to be discharged
from an Atlanta hospital on March 3, an issue resurfaced with his
coccyx, an injury sustained during the incident at Creek County
Speedway, which has forced Chandler to resort to bedrest for the next
several months, or until the issue heals. Once the issue heals, Chandler
can proceed with therapy. As a result, Chandler’s family has decided to
uproot from Oklahoma and move to Atlanta until Chandler’s medical
issues have been resolved.
“The last thing we ever want
to hear about is a racer getting hurt, but when times like that occur,
the best response we can give is support,” Tony Stewart explained.
“Grady’s bravery and willingness to never give up is truly inspiring.
It’s stories like his that make us want to get involved and do our part
in pushing Grady toward a healthy and speedy recovery.”
The ten percent total sales
tally will begin Sunday, March 1, and extend through Tuesday, March 31.
Any apparel updates and/or specials will be posted online, as well as on
social media.
