Joey Logano, Sunday’s winner at Charlotte Motor Speedway, took in a much more sobering view in South Carolina just days after winning the Bank of America 500.
The Team Penske driver, along with Darlington Raceway president Chip Wile and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver Jordan Anderson, were in Columbia, South Carolina, on Thursday to pitch-in on relief efforts in an area that has undergone massive flooding.
Torrential rains — which hit the area the weekend of the Dover race — produced the worst flooding the state had seen in 1,000 years, according to state governor Nikki Haley.
Logano, Anderson and Wile served meals to first responders and surveyed the damage. The Joey Logano Foundation also donated $50,000, to be divided amongst three local charities: Red Cross South Carolina Flood Relief, United Way of the Midlands and Harvest Hope Food Bank.
