NASCAR’s most popular driver has pledged $1 million to pay for a new theatre at Victory Junction Camp.

The Randleman, North Carolina camp plays host to children with serious illnesses. It was founded by Kyle and Pattie Petty in memory of their son Adam.

Dale Jr’s donation will be used to build The Dale Jr. Corral and Amphitheatre.

“There are many reasons why we wanted to get involved with Victory Junction and build this amphitheater, and it starts with the tremendous impact the camp has on these kids,” Earnhardt Jr said.

Mr. Earnhardt will be on hand March 27, 2010 to break ground on project during The Dale Jr. Foundation Physical Disabilities Weekend at Victory Junction.

“Adam and I met each other at an early age, and from that point on our lives and careers were virtually parallel,” said Dale Jr.  “He was as genuine as they get and a great friend.  If I can play a small part in helping Kyle and Pattie keep his dream alive, it doesn’t require a second thought.”

The amphitheatre will allow children at the camp to not only be entertained, but participate in the entertainment.

Is Dale Jr a good guy or what?
