NASCAR Fans: Give Blood, Get Racing Merchandise

In the hopes of bringing a few race-fans into the donor pool, the American Red Cross is teaming up with Roush-Fenway Racing in a national program to encourage NASCAR fans to give blood. It’s unclear from the press release whether donation drives will be held at NASCAR events, where blood-alcohol levels might become an issue, but one pretty awesome aspect of the program is a points system that rewards "frequent donors" with credits toward Red Cross Racing merchandise. Blood for racing swag—now that’s an arrangement that truly benefits everyone involved. You can sign up at the Red Cross Racing website beginning April 24. Expect to see Greg Biffle’s No. 16 Ford Fusion decked out in its special Red Cross paint scheme for the Aarons 499 in Talladega, and check out the Red Cross website for details.
