Brittany and Robbie joined with Dale Earnhardt Jr. to let NASCAR fans know about their efforts. They have reached out to corporate America for help, and are now teaming with GM Military Discount, Chevrolet, NASCAR, and others to provide calling cards to Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Guardsmen stationed outside of the United States. The program will have displays set up at 15 races this season: Darlington, both Dover races, Charlotte next month, both Pocono races, both Michigan races, Daytona, Indianapolis, Atlanta, Kansas, Fontana and the fall Richmond race; they will also have a display set up at the Indianapolis 500. “We are encouraging NASCAR fans as they come out to each of the events throughout the year to bring whatever old cell phones they may have laying around--we all know we have them laying around on shelves and in drawers -- to bring them out to the race track and donate them to the program,” Dale Jr. said Saturday when meeting with the teens and media to discuss his role in the project.
