Roush Racing driver Jamie McMurray has formed the Jamie McMurray Foundation to promote awareness of and raise funding for research, education and support for individuals and families affected with autism.
McMurray, who drives Roush's No. 26 Ford in the Nextel Cup Series, has been an advocate for the Autism Society of America, with a "Driving Autism Awareness Pledge" campaign in 2005 and has participated in many golf tournaments, auctions for charitable contributions and benefits throughout the year. Plans for 2006 include a Wilmington (Del.) golf outing this week and yet to be determined corporate partnerships.
"Autism knows no boundaries as it throws many obstacles at families with autistic children," said McMurray. "I feel good about spearheading this effort and lending my name to create awareness about this disorder. I firmly believe NASCAR fans are the best, and they are the most generous in giving to good causes such as this."
