Leffler, a NASCAR driver who w on races in the Nationwide and Truck Series, was killed Wednesday in a sprint car accident at Bridgeport Speedway -- a dirt track in New Jersey.

Donations can be made to The Charlie Dean Leffler Discretionary Trust, SunTrust Bank, 232 Williamson Road, Mooresville, N.C., 28117. This trust will serve as the official Leffler Family fund, with all finds going directly to Charlie’s needs.
Turner Scott Motorsports co-owner Harry Scott Jr., former Braun Racing owner Todd Braun -- who Leffler drove for in Nationwide -- along with Steve Overholser, CFO of Great Clips (Leffler’s longtime sponsor) will serve as trustees.
Several drivers are carrying stickers honoring Leffler, who went by the nickname LefTurn, on their cars this weekend at Michigan International Speedway.
