The Ford Driving 4 a Difference presented by the Gene Haas Foundation is a unique four-race competition among the five full-time Ford teams in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
Over the next five weeks, AM Racing with Harrison Burton, the Haas Factory Team with Sheldon Creed and Sam Mayer, and RSS Racing with brothers Kyle and Ryan Sieg will battle for the top finishing positions. Points will be awarded based on each team’s finishing position in each race.
At the conclusion of the challenge, the team with the highest cumulative points total will receive a significant donation to their selected charity from the Gene Haas Foundation. The remaining teams won’t go home empty-handed — each will receive a charitable contribution in recognition of their participation.
Metallica’s All Within My Hands was founded by the members of the band in 2017. The Foundation aims to assist and enrich the lives of members of the communities who have supported the band for years, as well as encourage participation from fans and friends. 100% of donations go directly to their charity partners. As always, Metallica covers all administrative costs.
To date, All Within My Hands has provided $11.4 million in grants to career and technical education programs, over $7.4 million to combat food insecurity and more than $4.7 million to disaster relief efforts.
“All Within My Hands is honored to be selected by AM Racing to be their chosen non-profit partner for the Driving 4 a Difference,” said Peter Delgrosso, Executive Director. “It is an incredible opportunity for us to be able to share our mission with NASCAR’s family of fans and drive more awareness and support.”
Through this collaboration, AM Racing not only aims for on-track success but also to support meaningful change off the track through the impactful work of All Within My Hands.
“It’s really cool to be part of something that brings competition and giving back together,” said Harrison Burton, driver of the No. 25 Dead On Tools | DEX Imaging Ford Mustang.
“Metallica’s All Within My Hands does incredible work helping communities in need, and to have them as our charity for the Ford Driving 4 a Difference is something I’m really proud of. Hopefully, we can put together some strong runs over the next five weeks and make a real difference both on and off the track.”
AM Racing team president Wade Moore is excited to partner with All Within My Hands. A lifelong Metallica fan, Moore is proud to bring the band’s charitable mission into the world of NASCAR alongside Burton.
“As a lifelong Metallica fan, it’s an absolute honor to align AM Racing with All Within My Hands,” offered team president Moore. “Their commitment to workforce education and fighting hunger is inspiring and bringing that mission into the NASCAR space with Harrison behind the wheel makes it even more special.
“We’re excited to represent All Within My Hands’ cause and do our part to make an impact during the Ford Driving 4 a Difference.”
