The Autism Speaks 400 is now part of the history books. But wow what awareness raising for autism. NASCAR is a huge television draw. Although Sunday's race was postponed until today because of rain there was still huge television focus on autism yesterday as television screens across North America were lit up with the big blue puzzle piece of Autism Speaks. Another outstanding effort by Bob Wright and Autism Speaks to bring autism into the mainstream of public consciousness. With a big hand from Visa, drivers like Jamie McMurray and sponsors like Crown Royal. Jamie McMurray wasn't able to win the race but he still helped focus attention on autism with his story and his special autism efforts including the autism themed paint scheme for his Ford Fusion.
