In an effort to help the Iredell County
Friends of the Animals organization move closer to its goal of building
a state-of-the art animal sanctuary to include an adoption and education
center with a spay/neuter clinic in Mooresville, N.C.
Greg Biffle has
pledged to donate a portion of his winnings from the Sprint All-Star
Race to their cause. As Biffle is one of the drivers who needs to be
voted in or finish in the top two in the Sprint Showdown to be in the
All-Star Race, it is important that Biffle fans take the time to vote
now and vote often over the next week and a half.
“I didn’t really want to campaign to get voted into the All-Star race
because I feel like we should race our way in but the idea was presented
to me to make this donation to the Friends of the Animals and I couldn’t
say ‘no’,” said Biffle. “The animal sanctuary we are working to build is
a project my wife Nicole and I really believe in because we believe it
will increase adoptions and spay/neuters for animals.”
Fans can cast votes for Biffle using the NASCAR Sprint Cup Mobile
application where they can vote as often as they like, by visiting
www.NASCAR.com/allstar where they can vote once an hour or at the Sprint
Experience, located in the midway at every NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
event. As an incentive for Sprint customers, every wireless vote
submitted from a Sprint or Nextel device counts double in the driver
standings. Voting continues until one hour before the start of the
Sprint All-Star Race on Saturday, May 22.
Information about the Animal Sanctuary:
The animal sanctuary will house 150 animals; 60 cats and 90 dogs, which
will be available for adoption. The animal education and community
center will be available to churches, community groups, and the public
for birthday parties and meetings. The developers at Langtree at the
Lake have worked with Friends of the Animals to allow them to use their
green space for a community dog park and walking trails. Visit
