Richard Childress Racing has earned more than 200 wins across NASCAR’s national series. The team has claimed six NASCAR Cup Series championships, as well as three Daytona 500 wins and three Brickyard 400 victories. <\/p>\n
Childress and his wife, Judy, are also being recognized for their philanthropic efforts with the honor. In 2008, the Childresses partnered with Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center to establish the Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma. This has grown into a nationwide initiative dedicated to preventing childhood trauma and life-threatening injury.<\/p>\n
\u201cRichard Childress is an exceptional leader whose integrity, resilience, and commitment to excellence has long distinguished him in the world of motorsports and beyond,\u201d said Marcia G. Taylor, President and CEO, Bennett International Group LLC, a 2017 Horatio Alger Award recipient who nominated Childress for the Award. <\/p>\n
\u201cThrough our partnership with Richard Childress Racing, I have seen firsthand how his dedication to his team, his industry, and his community reflects the very qualities that the Horatio Alger Association seeks to honor.
