Dover International Speedway raises $93,000 for the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation

A half dozen fire engines carrying the children and spouses of fallen firefighters took a ceremonial lap around the track at Dover International Speedway on Sunday, September 26, 2010. The NASCAR event raised more than $93,000 for the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. Twelve-year-old Joseph Tagliareni Jr. of Secaucus, NJ, whose fireighter father died in 1999, was on the lead fire engine. Rusty Wallace and NASCAR president Mike Helton were among those who greeted firefighters in the hospitality tent. Join the Foundation at the next NASCAR event -- the Daytona 500 in February.
