“The work that the Carolina Children’s Center does is very important to me, so I’m grateful to all the volunteers with The NASCAR Foundation and the Kyle Busch Foundation for their efforts on the ServiceNation Day of Action,” said Busch. “I had the chance to visit with the kids at the Children’s Center, so I know how much they appreciate the volunteers spending their time to help make it feel even more like home.”
