Racing for something bigger than victory — Joey Gase is turning the Las Vegas Motor Speedway into a track of hope. This weekend, the NASCAR Xfinity Series driver isn’t just chasing checkered flags; he’s honoring real-life heroes who gave others a second chance at life. But here’s where it gets truly powerful — his car itself will tell their stories.
When Joey Gase hits the track for Saturday’s Focused Health 302, his vehicle will feature portraits of three remarkable organ donors from Nevada, accompanied by heartfelt “Messages of Hope” from their families. The powerful images aren’t just decoration; they’re reminders of courage, generosity, and the ripple effects of one selfless act.
For Gase, this race carries deep personal meaning. He’s not just representing the Nevada Donor Network — he’s carrying on a mission close to his heart as the son of an organ donor. His own experience gives him a unique perspective on how donation saves and transforms lives.
In his conversation with News 3, Gase shared why he believes raising awareness about organ, tissue, and eye donations matters now more than ever. Every number on the waiting list represents a real person — a family hoping for a miracle. Through his platform, he’s encouraging fans to register as donors and help bridge that gap.
The Nevada Donor Network’s work goes far beyond the race track. It connects stories of grief and gratitude, uniting families through the shared message that life can continue in unexpected ways. And this is the part most people miss — registering as a donor isn’t just a simple act; it’s a legacy that lives on.
So, here’s the question — do you believe more athletes and public figures should use their platforms to champion causes like organ donation, even when it means shifting the spotlight from competition to compassion? Let’s hear your thoughts below.
