Greenlight Debit Card for Kids On Board the #27 of J.J. Yeley

Every account is FDIC-insured

Have you discovered the Greenlight Debit Card for Kids? I hadn’t until I learned that the company was sponsoring J.J. Yeley for the All Star Open. As an Oma (Dutch Grandmother) to five youngsters, I found this concept both awesomely timely and efficient.

J.J. Yeley, in the #27, will start the Open from the thirteenth position in his Rick Ware Racing Ford. Yeley competes full time in the top NASCAR Series. He was the 2001 and 2003 USAC Sprint Cup Champion; the 2002 and 2003 USAC Silver Crown Champion; and the 2003 USAC “Triple Crown” Winner. J.J. has three hundred and seven (307) cup races under his belt.

As cash usage dwindles, the Greenlight Debit Card for Kids Teens, and College Students provides parents an efficient convenience while teaching their youngsters good money habits. These app-based cards put parents in control, while letting kids learn from their mistakes without getting into serious trouble for only $4.99 per month!

Why Parents Choose Greenlight

Chore management

• First month free. No contracts. • Includes debit cards for up to five kids • No minimum age. No minimum balance. • No transaction, international or overdraft fees • Their first replacement cards are on us
• Turn “Do I have to?” into “All done!” Create in-app chore lists and tie the work to perks.

Allowance on autopilot

• Automatically transfer allowances to kids’ accounts and help them divvy up their earnings between their Spend, Save and Give accounts.

Instant transfers to kids’ cards

• Send money instantly to your kids' accounts anytime, anywhere. And everyone sleeps a little bit better.

Real-time transaction notifications

• Get an alert any time the card is used, including when it’s declined for any reason. You always know when, where and how much money they’re spending.

Store-specific spend controls

• Greenlight is the only debit card that lets you select each store where kids are allowed to spend. If they try to spend where they shouldn’t, we’ll alert you immediately.

Educational app for kids

• A special version of the Greenlight app* lets kids track balances, work chore lists and more.
• *App is optional; kids without smart devices can still use their cards.

Switch card on or off from the app

• If a card is lost or stolen, you can immediately disable it in the Greenlight app. And then switch it back on when the card turns up in the laundry.

Save the change with Round Ups

• It’s the digital version of putting spare change in a piggy bank. Kids can round up purchases to the next dollar and automatically add the change to their savings. Even when they’re spending, they’re saving.

Parent-Paid Interest on savings

• Set and pay interest on your kids’ Save accounts, teaching them the magic of compound growth. Turn your savers into super savers!

Personal savings goals

• Greenlight helps kids set real savings goals and track their progress toward reaching them, all in the app. Someday, they’ll thank you.

ATM parental controls

• You choose whether your kids can use their cards at ATMs and how much cash they can withdraw. Every parent’s new best friend.

Direct deposit

• Teens with jobs can set up direct deposit and have their paychecks sent straight to their Greenlight account, so their money is all in one place.

Enabled for Apple Pay and Google Pay

• Kids can add their Greenlight card as an Apple Pay or Google Pay payment method* so they can tap and pay in an instant. *Subject to Apple Pay and Google Pay age requirements.

Referral bonus

• When you refer someone to Greenlight, you’ll both get $10. (Along with our endless appreciation.)

Balance tracking

• See all historic activity in your kids’ Spend, Save and Give accounts. Your kids are about to become budgeting pros.

Remember to tune in to watch J.J. Yeley in the NASCAR All-Star Open. It is scheduled to take the green flag at 7:00 p.m. (ET). The All-Star Open consists of a three-stage sprint at Bristol. The Open contains two thirty-five (35) -lap segments and an exciting fifteen (15) -lap shootout at the end. The winner of each stage in the Open advances to the rear of the All-Star Race field.

Go J.J. and Greenlight

Be sure to Tune-In tonight for the NASAR All-Star Race! See who will claim the last spots in the All-Star Open at 7PM.

(Father Kevin was nicknamed "The Closer" for his ability to make late passes for the win (often with the commentators asking "Where did he come from?" because he often made them from a considerable distance behind, usually taking advantage of the leader running out of fuel in the last few corners)

Jesse Love - Two Wins in Seven Days

NASCAR’s ARCA Menards Series West traveled to Southern California for the ENEOS 125 presented by NAPA AUTO PARTS at Irwindale Speedway. Bill McAnally Racing has a winning record at the state-of-the-art facility – capturing victories in 13 of the 27 ARCA West regular-season races the track has hosted.

Jesse Love Jr.

BMR’s driver lineup featured five talented young series rookies –Giovanni Scelzi, Lawless Alan, Jesse Love, Gracie Trotter and Holley Hollan. Each of them were looking to add another Irwindale win to the team’s record. Four of the BMR drivers have raced at the speedway in another division and are looking to put that experience to good use as they return to the half-mile track for the ARCA West race.

However, it was fifteen-year-old Jesse Love who brought home the Trophy. Love who is from Menlo Park, California has a top-10 at Irwindale Speedway in a Spears SRL Southwest Tour Series race last season. He split his time between dirt and asphalt arenas of racing in 2019 – competing in the Southwest Tour and the POWRi National Midget League.

Jesse Love picks up win No. 2 of 2020

Congratulations @jesselovejr1 🏁#ARCAMenards | #ENEOS125 pic.twitter.com/AQoGDxY9VI

— ARCA Menards Series (@ARCA_Racing) July 5, 2020

He is having a great 2020 season. Coming into the Irwindale event, Jesse had wheeled the No. 19 NAPA Power Premium Plus Toyota Camry to a win and a runner-up finish in the twin races at Utah. (June 27, 2020).

His Fourth of July win at Irwindale Speedway has him on top of the series points standings with a seventeen-point cushion. Love is also first in the rookie standings. 

There are five races remaining – with the next event scheduled for 08/08/2020 at Evergreen.

Austin Dillon and wife Whitney welcomed their first child, Ace RC into the NASCAR family last Sunday. 

“‘RC’ obviously is for my grandfather,” Dillon said. “My logo has always been the Ace of Spades and my grandfather always said ‘ace in the hole.’ So, I was like this is a good time to make my kid the ace in the hole and hopefully he‘s better than me.”

Chase Elliott Foundation “DESI9N TO DRIVE”

Racing Shoes to Benefit Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta #desi9ntodrive

The Chase Elliott Foundation officially re-launched its fourth annual "DESI9N TO DRIVE" art collaboration with Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (Children's), the largest healthcare provider for children in Georgia. Elliott and his three Hendrick Motorsports teammates will wear racing shoes designed by four Children's patients (or siblings of patients) during this weekend’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway on June 7.

Patients at Children’s submitted color sketches of racing shoes depicting their "big dreams" and four sketches were selected to be replicated on the Alpinestars racing shoes worn by the Hendrick Motorsports drivers. Beginning today, each of the four racing shoes are being auctioned online for nine days, ending June 14.

Auction proceeds go to the Chase Elliott Foundation to benefit Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Covid-19 fund and the summer camp program that Children’s runs for its large patient network. Children's Covid-19 fund helps provide needed support, supplies and equipment for their most fragile patients and frontline workers.

"Wearing these special racing shoes and meeting the designers behind DESI9N TO DRIVE is one of the great things we do all season," said Elliott, a Dawsonville, Ga., native and seven-time NASCAR Cup Series race winner in the No. 9 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports. "We've been fortunate to raise a significant amount of money over the last few years to enable more patients to enjoy time at summer camp and away from the hospital. In addition, this year my foundation will match the auction proceeds and make a separate donation to the Children's Covid-19 fund."

Elliott's teammates at Hendrick Motorsports include drivers Jimmie Johnson, a seven-time NASCAR Cup Champion, Alex Bowman and William Byron.

"Children's Healthcare of Atlanta is honored to be able to continue our partnership with Chase Elliott on the DESI9N TO DRIVE program, which helps expand our summer camp program offerings to meet the needs of our growing patient population," said Beth Buursema, senior director, corporate partnerships at Children's. "To have Chase also make a sizeable donation to our Covid-19 fund helps enable Children's to properly and safely care for our patients and families during this difficult time."

The DESI9N TO DRIVE program has raised and donated over $100,000 from the auction and corporate partner support in its first three years.

I’ll be rocking these shoes for tomorrow’s race at Atlanta. They’re up for auction to benefit @childrensatl check it out 👇🏼https://t.co/48LUKwkI60 #Desi9nToDrive pic.twitter.com/d06Cv9bhxs

— Alex Bowman (@AlexBowman88) June 6, 2020

The winning racing shoe sketches were submitted by three patients and one patient sibling at Children’s ranging in age from five to 14 years old. The Hendrick drivers picked their favorite sketch, resulting in the following driver-designer pairings:

• Chase Elliott – Brooke Winokur, age 8

• Jimmie Johnson – Evelyn Odell, age 5 (older sister of patient)

• Alex Bowman – Justin Mingo, age 14

• William Byron – Julia Hope Sears, age 9

Following the race, each driver will sign their respective racing shoes, which are being auctioned off through June 14 at the online auction site of the NASCAR Foundation located at nascarfoundation.org/chaseelliott.

Several corporate partners are matching the highest winning bid of Elliott's shoes in the online auction, including NAPA AUTO PARTS, Mountain Dew, Hooters, Kelley Blue Book, Valvoline, and SunTrust.

History Through the Lens of NASCAR

Free Virtual Summer Camp for Grades 7th Plus

Each year, 20 million families rely on summer camps as a way to fill the days with engaging and educational activities. But with no end in sight to U.S. social distancing, this year’s traditional summer camps are much less likely to open or have already closed.

Even if social distancing restrictions loosen, many parents will continue to be concerned about exposing their kids to large groups.

Varsity Tutors will be hosting a "Virtual Summer Camp" starting on Monday (June 1st) through the end of August. Each half-day camp will be a week-long, with interactive enrichment-based classes. Plus, they'll be completely free!

One of the more unique classes is: History Through the Lens of NASCAR, which is designed for grades Seventh (7th) through Twelfth (12th). 

In the class, students will learn about the origins of #NASCAR racing and how the evolution of the sport parallels and even leads to changes in American history and culture. Students will learn about the cities that host speedways, the improvements in technology that have made racing faster and safer, and the growth of the sport and its business into its unique place in American culture today.

Remember this class is free!

The Briscoe Family Suffers a Miscarriage

Chase David Wayne Briscoe is an American professional stock car racing driver. He currently competes full-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, driving the No. 98 Ford Mustang for Stewart-Haas Racing with Fred Biagi. 

Chase is just twenty-five years old; so most would consider him a 'kid.' However, this athlete had to deal with a grown-up tragedy yesterday.

Yesterday was the hardest day of my life. @MarissaBriscoe_ and I heard the worst news any soon to be parent could hear... That we wouldn’t be welcoming our daughter to the world on December 1st. I know God has a plan and we may not understand it but we seek Him and trust Him. pic.twitter.com/71uLSeQdsP

— Chase Briscoe (@ChaseBriscoe5) May 20, 2020

Briscoe was at Darlington Raceway preparing for a race and watching the events unfold at home over FaceTime as a sonogram machine was brought in to double-check.

“As I watched the doctor do all the stuff on the ultra sound I’ll never forget when she said “Now for the heartbeat” and then the empty black screen I saw and hearing her say “I’m so sorry,” Briscoe wrote. "It was like time stopped, nothing else even mattered."

 NRM's positive thoughts and prayers are with the Briscoe family during this difficult time.

Justin Allgaier’s Daughter Harper Remediates Race Disappointment

For NASCAR Xfinity Series Championship contender Justin Allgaier, his No. 7 JR Motorsports Chevrolet lacked the necessary speed from the beginning of the race weekend in order to be competitive. He was never able to jump ahead of the other three title contenders, and scrapping the wall with less than twenty laps remaining, Allgaier had to settle for a disappointing fourteen place finish.

— TobyChristie.com (@Toby_Christie) November 17, 2019

“It was disappointing because we felt like yesterday in practice, the seven laps that we got, that our balance was pretty good,” Allgaier said. “We were excited about tonight because the things we worked on yesterday and in the shop and try to make better for our program, we had done.

“Unfortunately, tonight we were just way too loose and way too loose to really push at the speed those guys were running.”

It wasn't the ending @J_Allgaier wanted to the 2019 season on Saturday, but he and the @BrandtRacing team have a ton of momentum going into the 2020 season. #JRNation pic.twitter.com/6xKYlbCZmG

Victory Junction – Adam’s Way

#MyGivingStory @GivingTuesday 

#MyGivingStory is a social media storytelling contest created to foster a public conversation about giving and to inspire more people to give.

Below is my entry: 

My devotion to the resilience of children stimulates me to give back. Every month, my husband and I donate to Victory Junction. We love how health challenged children entrusted to this camp gain a greater understanding of their own strengths and courage.

Victory Junction is a medically safe, yet exhilarating facility that challenges youngsters who have a serious medical condition to try things they never imagined possible. As they conquer activities like zip lining and archery or experience bowling, fishing or swimming, the children build confidence that will positively shape how they view the rest of their lives. You should see the “Adventure Tower” which stands fifty-five (55) feet tall and is covered in puzzling ways to get to the top!

We visited the Victory Junction a couple of years back and were thrilled to see how creativity and ingenuity came together to offer these kids the experience of their lives.

This transformative Camp has enriched over eight thousand young campers and thanks to generosity of donors, families never pay for their child to attend. How awesome it would be if we could donate that $10,000 prize to this charity.

“Come what come may, time and the hour run through the roughest day.” ― William Shakespeare, Macbeth. The camp began operation in 2004. It was the dream of Adam Petty, a fourth-generation race car driver from the famous Petty family. Adam died at the young age of nineteen in 2000 during a practice lap crash. It was his dream to help children and Adam’s family, fellow drivers, plus friends made it happen.

Victory Junction is part of SeriousFun Children’s Network (SFCN), an alliance of nine camps nationally and thirty camps worldwide that serve children dealing with serious medical condition and chronic illnesses. It is also an official charity of NASCAR.

If you are ever near Randleman, North Carolina, I highly recommend you arrange for a tour of the Victory Junction grounds. The insight you reap will enhance your life.

The twenty entries with the most votes will be sent to the Contest Judges. Voting is super easy. You just click on the entry link and then click on the green vote button on the top left of the screen. Bam you are done for the day.

“It’s a big deal for everyone whether you’re a Floridian or not,” he said. “I definitely came as a kid.”

Owen – whose 2013 hit “Beachin’” features Daytona Beach and its music video contains shots of the Boardwalk – performed the pre-race concert before the Daytona 500.

To grow up a Florida kid 🍊 and have the honor of playing the @DISupdates #Daytona500 is hard to put into words... thankfully @MatthewPaskert snapped this photo. I think this says it all.

Love, Ella and Leo

NASCAR Star, Jeff Gordon was married to Ingrid Vandebosch in the year 2006. The couple welcomed two children named Ella Sofia in 2007 and Leo Benjamin in 2010.

Gordon's immense influence on NASCAR was highlighted Friday during a star-packed Hall of Fame induction ceremony befitting a driver who changed the trajectory of an entire sport. Further, Gordon won four titles over seven seasons.

The HOF Induction Ceremony proved to be a family affair as Jeff's children joined him on stage and shared what their father's accomplishments meant to them.

On the day their dad was set to be inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame, Ella and Leo Gordon wrote him letters to mark the occasion.

“I hope that the things I can teach them and these experiences that we get to have together will catapult them into whatever they’re passionate about, that they want to strive for,” Gordon said, “and understand the hard work that comes along with it.”

Scarlett Joins Dad in Kentucky #NASCAR XFINITY Victory Lane

On Friday night, Brad Keselowski welcomed daughter Scarlett to the NASCAR world following his win in the NASCAR XFINITY Series Kentucky 300.


Daughter Scarlett made her debut in the arms of mom Paige White, and the moment was a bit much for Keselowski, who earned a Crosley jukebox for his 32nd career XFINITY win which put him clear of NASCAR Hall of Famer Jack Ingram for sole possession of fifth on the all-time list.

A first time winner here @KySpeedway as @keselowski @epaigewhite introduce little Scarlett to Victory Lane. #NASCAR pic.twitter.com/6wUjpVgxgL
