Dalton Kellett donated the profits from his online store and won the support of a Foyt sponsor to help the victims of the Uvalde, Texas massacre
Foyt IndyCar driver Dalton Kellett, from Canada, has organized a donation campaign for the fund supporting the victims and families affected by the Uvalde massacre in Texas. He donated all profits from his online store in May, with help from K-Line Insulators, sponsor of car #4.
According to Kellett, US$ 3262 were raised through the online store, and with the sponsor's entry in the campaign, the total amount was US$ 6526. All the money will go to the organization Victims First. The collection began on May 25.
The Uvalde massacre happened on May 24th, when Salvador Rolando Ramos, 18, broke into Robb Elementary school, located in the city 130 km away from San Antonio, and murdered 19 children and 2 teachers. Another 18 people were injured. It is considered to be the deadliest case in the United States since the Sandy Hook school massacre in Connecticut in 2012.
Kellett returns to the track next Sunday (5) for the Detroit GP. In the current Indy season, the Canadian is 29th in the championship, with 45 points. His best result so far was 17th place in Texas.
