Orange Krush 200 Raises More Than $115,000 for Ward Burton Wildlife Foundation

The Ward Burton Wildlife Foundation raised more than $115,000 through the Rogers Heating & Cooling Orange Krush 200 at Orange County Speedway last week.

"Thank you to everyone that supported the Rogers Heating & Cooling Orange Krush 200," reads a Facebook post announcing the total. "We are THRILLED to announce that we raised over $115K! Extra special thank you to our presenting partner Rogers Heating & Cooling for their partnership and the AMAZING prize money purse that made the event possible. Should we do this again next year?!"

Kaden Honeycutt won the Orange Krush 200, finishing ahead of former zMAX CARS Tour champions Deac McCaskill and Bobby McCarty. Ward and Jeb Burton competed in the event, Ward's first race since 2012. Jeb finished sixth, while Ward finished 15th.

In addition to the ticket sale proceeds, a portion of the RacingAmerica.TV pay-per-view proceeds benefitted The Ward Burton Wildlife Foundation to further their conservation and outreach efforts. The Ward Burton Wildlife Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit organization that was founded in 1996 to promote the sustainability of natural resources through conservation, land management, outdoor outreach and educational practices.
