From Highway to Hell to Highway to Help: http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/article/grand-am-fifty-plus-racing-launched/

Chattanooga, Tenn.-based Fifty Plus Racing, in tandem with Predator Performance and Alegra Motorsports, announced tonight a unique partnership with the Austin Hatcher Foundation, allowing fans the opportunity to donate money to help children with pediatric cancer throughout the 50th anniversary running of the Rolex 24 At Daytona, Jan. 28-29 at Daytona International Speedway.

The aptly titled Highway to Help program will be driven by AC/DC lead singer Brian Johnson, who will make his Rolex Series debut in January alongside Byron DeFoor, former Rolex 24 overall winners Elliott Forbes-Robinson and Jim Pace, and former Rolex 24 class winner Carlos DeQuesada.

Throughout the race, fans can text ACDC to 501501 to donate $10 to the Austin Hatcher Foundation. In addition there will be a 24-hour radioathon throughout the event with two PSAs every hour and a live DJ promoting the event. The goal is to raise $1 million for families affected by pediatric cancer.

This is real, this is going to happen, and were all happy to have the opportunity to do this, said Johnson at the Saturday night announcement. AC/DC fans all over the world are now rooting for the Austin Hatcher Foundation.

Texts to the Highway to Help campaign will be $10, but fans can also contribute by going to www.hatcherfoundation.org/highwaytohelp...
