PRLog (Press Release) – May 27, 2011 – Mrs. North Carolina International 2011, Janet Bolin, and her husband will be celebrating Memorial Day Weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Bolin, a spokeperson for The NASCAR Foundation will be providing garage tours for The NASCAR Foundation online charity auction winners from the McKinney Academy and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Bolin is also collecting donations for the NASCAR Unites arm bands at both The NASCAR Foundation display and the Fetha Styx display along the midway.

“The best part of my job is sharing the excitement of NASCAR with fans who may have never had a chance to get an up-close look inside the sport,” stated Bolin.

Racing is nothing new for Bolin. With a 15-year career in the sport marketing industry, Bolin has spent every major holiday at a race track – drag racing, oval or road course.

“My family has been very supportive of my career and understanding of my hectic schedule,” stated Bolin. “The best part of my world now is that I am able to spend holiday weekends with my husband as he too works in the sport.”

Bolin’s other half, her husband, is the head of engineering for Roush Fenway Racing. Many who know the couple see what a great team they make, always being there to support one another at all times.

“When we first started dating we were talking about how a great couple really is a “team” and that is when we were tagged as “Team Chip and Janet” tagline,” stated Bolin. “We even have our own ‘Team Chip and Janet’ logo designed by my mother who is a high school art teacher.”

Bolin has a mission to help raise awareness and donations for The NASCAR Foundation. During her reign, she will be working with The NASCAR Foundation and all their charity partners to collect donations in-person at NASCAR-sanctioned race events, community appearances and through social media.

Since being crowned, Bolin has donated over 40 volunteer hours, traveled more than 4,000 miles and helped collect over $50,000 in donations thanks to the generosity of many NASCAR Fans.
