More than 35 children, ages 5 to 18, living with T1D are raising funds while showcasing their car designs at www.FordRaceCar.jdrf.org. Voting is open and underway through April 24, when the top 10 highest-earning entries advance. Representatives from the JDRF, Motorcraft and Quick Lane Racing and Wood Brothers Racing will determine the scheme that will run on Ryan Blaney‘s car.

Every child who enters raises money for JDRF by asking their friends and family to “vote” through donations. The winner and his or her family will be guests of Motorcraft/Quick Lane Racing at Indianapolis and see their scheme on the track.

“Vote now for a chance to see our Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Fusion NASCAR stock car at the Brickyard featuring the unique creativity of a child living with T1D,” said Mary Lou Quesnell, director of marketing for Ford Customer Service Division. “The children who entered this year’s contest produced some great vehicle designs. We can’t wait to bring the winning child’s design to life.”
