Junior launches foundation
Dale Earnhardt Jr. announced the launch of The Dale Jr. Foundation Tuesday night at the eighth annual Dale Jr. Celebrity Sports Auction. His newly-formed charitable organization is dedicated to giving underprivileged individuals, primarily youth, the resources to improve confidence, education and the opportunity to achieve extraordinary goals. "My path in life made it a bit easier for me to reach my goals and get to where I am today, but I realize that not everyone is as fortunate," Earnhardt Jr. said. "I've had the opportunity to meet some really cool kids through the Make-A-Wish Foundation the last few years, and it's made me appreciative of all that I have. I decided to start this foundation as a way to help those who haven't had some of the opportunities I've had."

I agree-Congrats Jr. on being a stand up guy and support this foundation.. The youth of America can certainly need the help....That is one thing I like about NASCAR ,all the drivers (especially the good ones) give alot of $$$$ to charities and start up their own foundations...

This guy is as genuine as they come. It is my belief that he can nearly identify with anyone. Not only is he generous with his time, but with his money as well. Those are traits, without a doubt, he learned from his father and biological mother. Is there any wonder why he is the most popular driver in NASCAR?

Not all Gordon Fans hate Jr.. And, if they do hate Jr. it's usually because of the grief that Gordon fans are getting from Jr. fans.
Anywayz, it's cool that Jr. is doing this.. He and Gordon, both, have their own foundations.
People can talk trash about Gordon and HMS but they do twice as much charitable work than anyone else out there...

This is a good move for Jr. Too bad his step moms did not guide him towards these types of endeavors. Too bad his engines keep blowing. Starts out strong ready to strike and his ish blows up?!
