Racing For Kids had another wonderful weekend at the Firestone Grand Prix of Saint Petersburg with the kids from Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, AJ Foyt Racing, and Firestone. The weekend began with racing stars Santino Ferrucci from IndyCar, Nick Monteiro from Indy NXT , and Anthony Martella from USF2000 visiting patients at Johns Hopkins All Children’s.
The next day families enjoyed an exciting behind-the-scenes day at the track which included guided paddock tour and a visit to the AJ Foyt transporter. Everyone got a firsthand look at Firestone’s tire shop. A delicious lunch was provided courtesy of Lundy’s.
The perfect day ended with each child receiving a backpack filled with toys, hats, hero cards, coloring books, and a Lego race car kit.
Special thanks to Giles Dowden and Savoree Green Racing Promotions, AJ Foyt Racing, Alissa Tibe at Lundy’s Catering, and to Firestone.
