This is what he said in victory lane after winning the WoO late model race at Volusia last night......
“We’re donating every dollar we make on this Speedweeks trip (Georgia and Florida) to the Wounded Warriors (Project),” said Pettyjohn, referring to the charity that benefits wounded American soldiers. “When we get home, my car owner (Brian Donley of Abingdon, Md.) will cut a check and send it to the Wounded Warriors Project. With this win, I think we’re over $11,500 now for the trip.”

It's very cool of him to do that. I'm definitely going to be buying a couple of his shirts when I see him this season.

We were rooting for him the whole way. These are the type of guys you want to see win, especially against all those big dollar teams.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
"The Man In The Arena", Theodore Roosevelt, April 23, 1910

Not to split hairs but it sound like the " car owner " made that call ... Either way that's pretty impressive that a guy is willing and able to do that and congratulations to him . I know people are going to hate this comment but why in the fuc$ Do charities like wounded warriors need to
Exist ???? It really aggravates me that we have money for food stamps , welfare , Obama phones , endless unemployment , section 8 housing , subsidized college tuition etc etc for worthless pile I excrement just because they are the right color ... Yet our brave men and women who put their lives on the line to protect us get $hit on by our government !!! If you fight for this country and you are wounded taking care of you should be out absolute first priority !!! Then if there's no money left for the ghetto splibs then oh well ...
