James Hinchcliffe needed 22 pints of blood to help him survive after a serious crash in practice for the 2015 Indianapolis 500. The Schmidt Peterson Motorsports driver has made it a priority to return the favor.
Hinchcliffe and the American Red Cross are teaming for a special blood drive at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Monday, May 21, with the goal to collect 105 donations. The first 100 people to donate will receive a free access pass to Hinchcliffe's garage in Gasoline Alley during the practice day on the 2.5-mile oval.
"It took something like what happened to me for me to understand the problem," said Hinchcliffe. "I'm working with the Red Cross to do whatever I can to raise awareness about the issue and try to draw people to blood donation."
The "Hinchcliffe Hundred" blood drive is supported by INDYCAR, IMS and the IU Health Foundation. It will take place from noon-6 p.m. ET in Legends Row adjacent to Gasoline Alley. Donors must be at least 18 years of age and have a gate admission ticket for entry into the track, with free parking available in Turn 3 while it lasts.
A free gate ticket will be emailed to each donor who registers in advance to donate. To register, visit https://rdcrss.org/2IbkEMw or call (800) RED-CROSS and use the sponsor code HinchcliffeHundred.
