Trevor Baine, the 20 year old Daytona 500 winner, is donating his winnings, over a million dollars, to Mexican orphanages-

VERY COOL!:wow::wow::wow:

Just to clarify, the purse was $1.5 million, Trevor gets 35-40% depending on his contract, the car owner gets the rest.

Still, the orphanages are gonna get a sizable contribution,

He seems like a very nice, well grounded kid.

That should make a huge difference to those kids. I hope the money is spent wisely.

I don't doubt his generosity, but where did you find this info? nothing on Google :?:whoops! I didn't rfead the next post with the CNN link. However, it doesn't say how much of the purse he is donating to Back2Back or if the $ will go to MX orpanages since it reads: Back2Back is an independent Christian charity working with orphans and the needy in Mexico, Nigeria and India. Bayne was introduced to the charity by Lonnie Clouse, a former chaplain for NASCAR with Motor Racing Outreach, who is now on staff with Back2Back.

Nothing like being on God's good side when you drive 200 MPH. :light:

Super cool!

Regardless of the amount he donates, it is an amazing gesture for a 20 year old who just won a pile of money.
