🏁 iRacing’s Race for the Cure Benefiting the National MS Society
The fifth annual iRacing Race for the Cure special event benefiting the National MS Society took place this week, featuring competitors including seven-time NASCAR Cup Series championship-winning crew chief Chad Knaus and Executive Vice President and Executive Producer at iRacing Steve Myers. Team Trading Paints proudly contributed $500, a small part of the $24,000 (and counting!) raised by the iRacing community so far. Way to go!
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s mission is to cure MS while empowering people affected by MS to live their best lives. You can still donate to the event and support the National MS Society.
