RALEIGH, N.C. — Carquest Auto Parts, the automotive parts retailer owned by Advance Auto Parts, Team Penske and reigning NASCAR Xfinity Series champion Austin Cindric will represent the American Heart Association at Talladega Superspeedway on Oct. 2 during the Sparks 300.
The American Heart Association logo will be featured on the TV Panel of Cindric’s No. 22 Carquest Ford Mustang during the race weekend.
This race day partnership is part of Carquest’s ongoing initiative with the American Heart Association. From now until Oct. 15 at participating Carquest locations, customers and race fans are encouraged to donate a custom amount at the register to the American Heart Association. Campaign donations will fund lifesaving research on heart disease and stroke. Heart disease remains the No. 1 cause of death for men and women in the U.S.
“It’s an honor to represent the American Heart Association at Talladega,” said Cindric. “As heart health remains such a serious issue in our country, I’m glad to play a role in raising awareness and funding to help the American Heart Association with their lifesaving efforts. I am looking forward to racing our Carquest Ford at one of the most exciting tracks on the calendar, and hopefully I can put it in victory lane.”
