NASCAR SCS (CONCORD, NC) - Sorenson Helps Raise Over $75,000 For Charity

SORENSON HELPS RAISE OVER $75,000 FOR CHARITY

Coming off of his career best NEXTEL Cup
Series finish with a third-place effort at his hometown track Atlanta
Motor Speedway, Reed Sorenson has something else to be proud of as well.
During the course of the week, he helped generate over $75,000 dollars
to be donated to Speedway Children's Charities, The Breast Cancer
Research Foundation and Project Pink House.

"It was a good week in a number of ways," said Sorenson still riding the
emotions from his third-place finish at Atlanta.  "To get my best finish
in front of the hometown crowd means a lot to me, but more importantly
we were able to raise money for some good causes."

On Wednesday, Oct. 24, Sorenson hosted his Inaugural Reed Sorenson
Charity Golf Classic at White Water Creek Country Club in Fayetteville,
Ga.  The proceeds from the golf outing, that also included a silent and
live auction, benefited the Speedway Children's Charities.

Additionally, Sorenson drove a pink car in Sunday's race at Atlanta
Motor Speedway to help raise breast cancer awareness.  Prior to the race
he developed a donation pledge that his primary sponsor Target agreed to
match.  Sorenson also auctioned off his signed pink helmet and firesuit
from the Atlanta race, with proceeds from the pledge and auction
benefiting The Breast Cancer Research Foundation and Project Pink House.


"I'm very fortunate to be racing cars for a living, and it's an honor to
be able to help raise awareness and funds for The Breast Cancer Research
Foundation, Project Pink House and the Children's Charities," said
Sorenson.  "We had a lot of fun this week at the course and at the
track, and I hope this is a tradition that will last for many years to
come.  I expect next year to be even bigger and better.   I just want to
thank everyone that helped support all of these great efforts."
