About Us
The past few years have been championship years, both on and off the race track. Together, we have built places to play, places to learn and places to live. We have helped save tens of thousands of lives through blood collection and by adding individuals to the National Marrow Donor Program Registry®. We have had the opportunity to grant the wishes of children and adults in need. It has truly been magical.
We are thrilled to share that we have contributed more than $3 million to various organizations since our inception in 2006. In addition to our work on a national level, we have begun to make an impact in Jimmie’s hometown of El Cajon, CA, where the Johnson's now call home in Charlotte, NC and in Chandra’s home state of Oklahoma. We can’t wait to see what the future holds.
