Hilary Duff hit the NASCAR race track on the weekend to support the children’s charity “Blessings in a Backpack.”
The actress-singer took to the microphone in Kentucky on Saturday, not to sing, but to command Gentlemen start your engines! As grand marshal for the NASCAR Nationwide Series Meijer 300, she and students from local schools took part in activities at the track, including a bike relay. Blessings in a Backpack, the organization they were supporting, fill donated backpacks with food items to be distributed to school students in need.
Hilary Duff is the national spokesperson for the childrens charity that partnered with NASCAR Meijer for the race outing.
