As the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and NASCAR XFINITY Series compete in Daytona Beach, Florida this weekend, cars in both series will feature decals showing support for the victims of the June 12 tragedy at Orlando’s Pulse nightclub and their families.
Decals with “#OrlandoUnited” will be placed on cars running in both Saturday’s Coke Zero 400 Powered by Coca-Cola (7:45 p.m. ET, NBC, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) and Friday’s Subway Firecracker 250 Presented by Coca-Cola (7:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN, MRN, SiriusXM) at Daytona International Speedway.
In addition, the NASCAR Foundation has made a $25,000 donation to OneOrlando, an organization that is providing support to the victims’ families.
“For our country, it was devastating for all the families involved,” team owner Joe Gibbs said Thursday morning. “… We’re (honored) to be a part of this program to honor those that lost their lives.”
