Jonestown, PA – Coming off a big week in the heart of Pennsylvania's 600 Micro Sprint racing community, Lindas Speedway is proud to announce its annual Micro Sprint National Open will bear the Driven2SaveLives name, underlining a shared commitment to organ donation awareness. This alliance brings to the forefront a vital cause deeply personal to our defending National Open champion and 2024 600 Speedweek champion, Christian Bruno, whose own family's experience with organ donation brings a profound story to the track.

Driven2SaveLives National Open 35, takes on added significance as it becomes a beacon of hope and awareness for organ donation.

Linda Batz, the owner of Lindas Speedway, shares a personal connection with the importance of organ donation. After a diagnosis of kidney illness just over two years ago, she has joined many others in hopes of a healthier life presented with the possibility of a transplant. The Speedway itself hopes to become a beacon of light for those waiting for transplants, embodying the fight and endurance spirit inherent to the racing world.

As for Bruno, he races not just for glory but to also elevate the life-affirming message of organ donation, a mission inspired by his mother's survival story. Michele Bruno's battle with primary sclerosing cholangitis and her subsequent life-saving liver transplant provide a powerful backdrop to Christian's racing endeavors and his support of organ donation through the Donate Life logo emblazoned on his fire suit.

"Lindas Speedway's collaboration with Driven2SaveLives for the National Open 35 is more than a sponsorship; it’s a way to honor our defending winner and his mother’s incredible journey and keep the importance of organ donation in the eye of the racing community," said Michael Batz at Lindas Speedway. "We hope to inspire our fans to at least think about joining the cause and making a lasting impact beyond the race track."

Driven2SaveLives, an initiative of the Indiana Donor Network, spotlights the significance of organ, tissue, and eye donation. The program commemorates the selfless acts of late athletes such as IndyCar driver Justin Wilson and dirt track champion and Indy 500 competitor Bryan Clauson, who both posthumously saved lives as organ donors. With over 8,000 race fans registered as organ donors and a robust ambassador network, Driven2SaveLives leverages the passion of the motorsports community to turn support into life-saving action.

As 600 Micro Sprint drivers start their engines this October for the National Open 35, we celebrate not just the speed and excitement of racing, but also the stories of resilience and the gift of life. We encourage our racing community to be part of this powerful conversation and consider registering as organ donors.

For further information about the Driven2SaveLives campaign, or to become a registered organ donor you can visit driven2savelives.org
