Racing for Charity

I love to see race teams and top drivers lend their names and prestige to charity events.  Adrian Fernandez is helping out Habitat for Humanity. His ALMS team is donating 10% of this years winnings to this cause.
"Today was the second Habitat for Humanity build that I have participated in," said Fernandez, who last raced on the streets of Houston in 2001.  "This is just a tremendous program with people coming together to help families in need to build their own homes and I can see why Habitat has a special place in so many hearts at Lowe's. "This has struck a note with me personally, and I am very happy to announce that Lowe's Fernandez Racing will be supporting Habitat for Humanity by donating a percentage of our prize money from every ALMS race. 
 It is a great motivation for everyone on our team to do their best to help a great program. Our participation in the build today was to help spread the word about Habitat for Humanity and to encourage people to get involved and volunteer.  I am looking forward to doing more builds as we tour the country with the ALMS race schedule."
It makes me want to root for Fernandez Racing this weekend.
