Dale Earnhardt Jr., a two-time Daytona 500 champion and NASCAR icon, continues to redefine his legacy beyond the track. Retired from full-time racing since 2017, Earnhardt has embraced his role as a team co-owner of JR Motorsports (JRM) and a philanthropic leader through The Dale Jr. Foundation (TDJF). Now, ahead of the 2025 NASCAR season, he’s blending his passion for motorsports and giving back with a groundbreaking initiative: the Driven To Give 400.

What Is the Driven To Give 400?

Set for January 29, 2025, the Driven To Give 400 will take place on Iowa Speedway’s virtual layout through iRacing, offering fans an unprecedented chance to compete alongside NASCAR stars. Hosted by JRM and presented by High Rock Vodka, the event is more than just a racing spectacle—it’s a charity-focused initiative with 100% of the proceeds supporting TDJF’s mission to empower underprivileged youth.

In an Instagram announcement, JRM shared the unique twist: fans can interact directly with their favorite drivers during the event. Participants can “buy a team, buy a caution, or even buy a penalty” for their chosen driver, creating a dynamic and engaging experience while contributing to a worthy cause.

Racing Legends and Rising Stars Join the Grid

The driver lineup promises excitement, with Dale Jr. himself hitting the virtual track alongside JRM’s Justin Allgaier, Carson Kvapil, and Sammy Smith. Joining them are NASCAR drivers Josh Berry, Rajah Caruth, and even IndyCar legend Tony Kanaan, bridging the gap between racing disciplines. For NASCAR and iRacing enthusiasts alike, this roster of talent adds a compelling layer to the event.

Entry fees range from $25 to $400, depending on the fan’s chosen level of participation, making the event accessible while allowing significant contributions to TDJF.

The Dale Jr. Foundation: Racing with Purpose

Since its inception, The Dale Jr. Foundation has raised over $11 million, partnering with more than 300 charities such as Make-A-Wish, Blessings in a Backpack, and Nationwide Children’s Hospital. By focusing on empowering underprivileged youth, the foundation supports initiatives in education, confidence-building, and community development.

The Driven To Give 400 embodies this mission, merging Earnhardt’s love for racing with his dedication to philanthropy. Proceeds from the event will fund programs that create opportunities for underserved communities and help young individuals achieve their potential.

Earnhardt’s Vision for Giving Back

Dale Jr. has always been more than a racing legend. His retirement from full-time NASCAR competition hasn’t slowed his commitment to the sport or his desire to make a difference.

“It’s something I’ve dreamed of ever since I was little to be a NASCAR driver,” Earnhardt once reflected. Through initiatives like the Driven To Give 400, he ensures that dream extends to fans, drivers, and communities in need.

This event stands as a testament to how motorsport can unite people for a greater cause. By bringing together racing fans and legends alike, Earnhardt demonstrates how innovation and generosity can leave an indelible mark on the sport and beyond.
