IndyCar driver Andrew Prendeville “fund-races” for Best Friends Animal Society at every race of the Firestone Indy Lights season, but last week, he pledged the funds from the Jeld-Wen 100 to support the rescue efforts underway to help animals affected by recent floods in Iowa.
Prendeville raised more than $15,000 through the race, with all funds going to help the Best Friends’ rescue team in Iowa.
Prendeville has participated in the Racing Laps for Best Friends promotion for one and a half racing seasons. The promotion encourages animal lovers and race fans to pledge a nominal amount for each lap Prendeville completes in a single race or throughout the season. People can also donate a one-time flat amount.
