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.

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.
