Five Las Vegas-area NASCAR drivers are uniting to help the victims and families of those impacted by the mass shooting in Las Vegas last weekend, one of the deadliest in modern American history.
Las Vegas NASCAR drivers raise money for shooting victims
Kyle and Kurt Busch, along with Spencer Gallagher, Brendan Gaughan and Noah Gragson have established a web site to raise money for those impacted by the mass shooting.
Brothers Kyle and Kurt Busch, along with Spencer Gallagher, Brendan Gaughan and Noah Gragson have established a web site, DriversForVegas.com, where people can purchase a #VegasStrong T-shirt, stickers or make a donation.
All profits collected will be donated to Support Las Vegas campaign benefiting the Direct Impact Fund. The proceeds are handled by the Zappos Relief Fund, which will match 100 percent of the donations made up to $1 million.
“It was horrific what happened in our hometown and we all send our thoughts and prayers to everyone affected by the tragedy in Las Vegas,” Kurt Busch said in a statement. “It really hit home to all of us and as Nevada natives we hope everyone supports our efforts.”
Fifty-eight people were killed and more than 500 injured Sunday night when Stephen Paddock, 64, opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel into a crowd of concert-goers attending a music festival. Authorities said Paddock apparently killed himself as police closed in.
