NASCAR Defends Decision to Reject Late Legend Fred Lorenzen Family’s $3M CTE Proposal

The family of late NASCAR Hall of Famer Fred Lorenzen is putting its money behind a cause close to home. His children, Chris Lorenzen and Amanda Lorenzen Gardstrom, have announced a $1 million donation to the Concussion & CTE Foundation, establishing the Fred Lorenzen Memorial HelpLine to connect current and former racing drivers and their families with care and support for suspected CTE and persistent concussion symptoms. But the family wants to do more than help those already struggling.
