By working together, the NASCAR Foundation and Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma will be able to keep researching everything and keep physicians available. Racing 4 Literacy is a foundation of NASCAR that helps students improve their reading and writing skills. The Tony Stewart Foundation aims to help children with chronic illnesses and also provides support for injured drivers and animals.

Today, NASCAR is also working with the National Science Foundation. They have built a set of online videos that helps improve student’s ability to learn science. "The Science of Speed" is for students in grades eight to grade 12. The whole point of the videos is to teach the children more about friction and heat, which are things that take place within NASCAR racing. The Kyle Busch Foundation is working with the NASCAR Foundation to help children stay in a safe environment for learning and supports many other needs for children. NASCAR is helping change the world and make the world a safer place one step at a time.
