NASCAR Hall of Famer Richard Childress pledges 1 million rounds of ammunition to Ukraine
NASCAR Hall of Fame owner Richard Childress is donating 1 million rounds of ammunition to Ukraine to help with their war against Russia, he announced on Wednesday.
Childress is currently a member of Ammo, Inc.’s board of directors, and said he reached out to chairman Fred Wagenhals shortly after hearing Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky ask for ammunition rather than help fleeing the country shortly after Russia invaded last week.
“I said, ‘Fred, we got to help these people. They need ammunition,’” Childress said on Fox News on Wednesday morning. “He stepped right up … Now we’re turning our production to this as our number one priority.”
"To see the people in Ukraine fighting, it's terrible to see the lives that are being lost over there," he said. "We have to do all we can, and I felt with Ammo Inc. and myself, we were doing the right thing. We’re going to get the ammunition to them as quick as we can.”
