Edwards win earns Bosch charitable donation

BROADVIEW, Ill. (May 29, 2015) — In recognition of Carl Edwards racing his Bosch-equipped No. 19 Subway Toyota to victory in last Sunday's Coca-Cola 600 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Bosch Aftermarket North America is making a $1,000 contribution to Joe Gibbs' Speedway Children's Charities (SCC).

Bosch said that thus far in the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season, Bosch-supported teams have won 10 races, garnering  a total of $10,000 to help the teams' charities  carry out their missions.

SCC works to care for children in educational, financial, social and medical need “to help them lead productive lives,” according to Bosch. The organization was founded in 1982 by Bruton Smith, chairman of Speedway Motorsports and Sonic Automotive, in memory of his late son. Its goal is “to ensure that every child in need be given the tools to build a better, brighter and healthy future.”

“I can't think of a better endorsement to the reliability and quality of Bosch parts than a 600-mile race,” said Tony Pauly, Bosch's director of advertising and brand management.

“Bosch congratulates Joe Gibbs Racing on this week's win. We're proud that the Joe Gibbs Racing teams trust Bosch quality parts and systems to power them to the checkered flag, and we're happy to lend support to a worthy charity like Speedway Children's Charities.”

SCC local chapters are partners in change, working with a broad range of people and organizations to identify and resolve pressing issues dealing with children in their communities, according to Bosch. “Due to the unique conditions of every community, the issues Speedway Children's Charities address are determined locally. Challenges ranging from learning disabilities, broken homes and childhood cancer are on the agenda for the local chapters of SCC and the numerous non-profit organizations they support,” the company added.

Bosch's long-standing partnership with the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series includes providing  parts — such as oxygen sensors, spark plugs, injectors, alternators, coils, filters, fuel pumps, starters and pressure regulators — to multiple NASCAR teams for more than a decade.

The Bosch Group employs some 25,000 associates in more than 100 locations. More information about the company is savailable on its website.
