(East Los Angeles, CA) [From The Editor’s Desk]: Saludos & Greetings to All of our stock car racing fans!  The NASCAR Company has proudly joined forces with our L.A. Alliance of 12 Pro Teams-unified under the campaign motto, “L.A. Strong” to provide timely financial assistance for the victims of our recent Palisades, Eaton, and Hurtz wildfires that devastated the properties of homeowners, business owners, schools, churches, recreational facilities, and entire communities.

In that great sense of loss and property, there were also an extremely large number of family pets, such as dogs and cats, as well as animals of many other types–from horses, livestock, and even tortoises, just to name a few. First responders are also included in the funding allocations.

Please read the National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing press announcement below that gives all of our NASCAR Fans, our viewers, and followers a few more details about their involvement and how fans can easily contribute to this very important cause in aiding the victims who remain in dire need of much more help as they attempt to rebuild their lives, their homes, and their dwellings.

NASCAR Joins LA Sports Teams’ Wildfire Relief Efforts With Fanatics’ LA Strong Gear

DAYTONA BEACH, FL. (Jan. 17, 2025) — NASCAR recently joined with Los Angeles sports organizations and Fanatics to help raise much-needed funds for victims of the devastating wildfires and the first responders supporting the fight.

Fans can now purchase NASCAR-branded LA Strong merchandise with all proceeds going to the American Red Cross and LA Fire Department Foundation. The apparel can be purchased here directly from the Fanatics’ LA Strong website.

Fanatics has collaborated with its League partners and LA sports organizations to design merchandise that helps support those directly impacted by the devastating wildfires in the LA communities.

Fanatics, Leagues, and participating sports organizations will not profit from the sale of the LA Strong merchandise and will make a donation directly to the American Red Cross and the LA Fire Department Foundation.
