Vincent Giacalone, a 13 year old eighth grader from Emerson Junior-Senior High School in New Jersey won a contest to help design the #44 UPS Toyota driven by 1999 Cup Champion Dale Jarrett. His Toys for Tots design made its racetrack debut at Atlanta Motor Speedway on October 28th, but if you're in the area, the car is currently on display outside of the UPS store in Westwood, NJ.As the winner of the contest, Giacalone's school got a visit by the racecar. But the contest, which was done to raise awareness of the Toys for Tots program, has rubbed off on the 13 year old. He has actually started a local drive which has collected enough toys to fill two trunks. For a full interview with Vincent, click here.
