You asked the Question I got the answer
" Nascar is big enough with enough reach to be in step with the other major sports leagues in this country to chair a big night and raise the kind of money you need to, to make this school and the cure more possible," Brian France said.
As parents first, and as philanthropists, the Frances felt an immediate and heart-tugging connection to the students at Gillen Brewer during a visit there earlier this month. They hope this school can be a national model of help and hope.
While interacting with a young boy at the school, Amy France saw firsthand the potential and promise that the right resources and educational focus can provide for any child affected by this condition.
"There was a really sweet moment in which I was speaking with a little boy, who was older than my children, probably about 5 or 6," Amy France shared. "He was working on something and I was giving him some encouragement. I said, 'Did anyone help you with that?' And he said, in a really confident tone, 'No, I used the power of my mind.'
"I just thought that was so sweet, and I was so encouraged by his confidence in his own capabilities and capacities.
"For him to have such confidence, I thought to myself, 'We need to be more confident in this area,'" said France, noting that only 8 percent of the children who apply to Gillen Brewer School are accepted because of a lack of funding.
"We need to be invigorated, energized and to have hope and retain a lot of faith because there is a lot of capacity and potential in these children affected by autism."
Even though the Frances have no direct family connection to autism, they are keenly aware that their 2 1/2-year old twins, Luke and Meadow, are precisely the age many autistic children are first diagnosed.
"To be quite honest, I became more interested in educating myself about autism when I was pregnant because I am aware of, quite frankly, an epidemic we have," Amy France explained. "One in 88 children and one in 54 boys are now diagnosed on the spectrum. So I took the time to educate myself, and through that process, I found myself saying, 'There has to be something we can do.'
"We have to dedicate resources, time and energy to finding out the underlying reason for autism and how to effectively work with autistic children.
"We don't have autistic children, but I am a parent, so I feel impacted by it. These children are going to be in our schools, in our communities. So we are all affected on some level or another."
Not only are the Frances hosting this event, but the NASCAR Foundation -- whose work is primarily focused on children and family causes -- and the Frances, personally, will be making what Brian France calls a "significant" donation to the cause.
The 2012 Betty Jane France Humanitarian Award winner, Lorri Unumb, is another co-chair of the event and a member of the NASCAR community with a connection to autism. Her son is the namesake of "Ryan's Law," a bill enacted by 32 states to require insurance companies to cover treatments for autism.
Last year, the NASCAR Foundation donated $100,000 to the Autism Academy of South Carolina in honor of Unumb.
NASCAR Hall of Famer Bobby Allison along with some of today's stars such as Kasey Kahne, Matt Kenseth, Clint Bowyer, Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch, Brad Keselowski, Nelson Piquet Jr., Kyle Larson and Darrell Wallace Jr. also will be attending the gala and supporting the cause.
These drivers will join the Frances in their sincere and heartfelt motivation to make a difference.
"I am a big supporter of the school," Amy France said. "I strongly believe in education and research in the area of autism, and I think this is an area we need to be more aggressive in, in terms of providing more resource and research. It's been incredibly rewarding and I am very happy to be a part of it."
For the Frances and the NASCAR community, this hits home at a very fundamental level.
"We're all parents first," Brian France said. "So the fact, the NASCAR Foundation has its focus on children, and the fact I'm a father and Amy is a mother, by definition it strikes your heart whenever we're around children who need something to go right in their life.
"To be able to help in some small way is a big deal to us and a big deal to the sport. That's what we've got to be about."

Who should be No. 1 driver in NASCAR?
Current NASCAR
According to Fox Sports Nascar says this on the leader board
FOX SPORTS NASCAR POWER RANKINGS
| RK | DRIVER | WINS | CHANGE | HIGH/LOW | COMMENTS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Brad Keselowski | 0 | 1 | 1/6 | After his third-place finish, Keselowski was bemoaning the fact that he has yet to win this season. But he has been awfully close in each of the first three races and looked rock solid again in Las Vegas. Hes not going anywhere. Team: Home | Stats | News | Gear |
| 2 | Jimmie Johnson | 1 | 1 | 1/7 | Whats wrong with the No. 48? After winning at Daytona and finishing second at Phoenix, Johnson was sixth in Sin City. Of course, absolutely nothing is wrong with the No. 48, as Johnson is still plenty strong. Team: Home | Stats | News | Gear |
| 3 | Matt Kenseth | 1 | 3 | 1/6 | OK, lets cut to the Chase: As early as it is in this season, Kenseth nearly won the Daytona 500 and now has a victory under his belt. If someone other than Kenseth, Johnson or Keselowski wins the championship this year, it will be a surprise. The top thr Team: Home | Stats | News | Gear  |
| 4 | Carl Edwards | 1 | 1 | 3/19 | The Missouri native backed up his Phoenix victory of last week with a top-five finish and appears back on form after last years dismal season. Team: Home | Stats | News | Gear |
| 5 | Dale Earnhardt Jr. | 0 | 1 | 4/14 | Three races, two top-five and three top-10 finishes for Earnhardt, who is off to a very strong campaign this year. Third in points right now is an excellent way to start the season. Team: Home | Stats | News | Gear |
| 6 | Denny Hamlin | 0 | 1 | 5/14 | Like his Joe Gibbs Racing teammates, Hamlin had a very fast Toyota in Vegas. A late-race pit-road penalty cost him a good finish, as he ended the day 15th. Team: Home | Stats | News | Gear |
| 7 | Kasey Kahne | 0 | 8 | 2/15 | For the first time all season, Kahne dominated, leading nearly half the race, but got beaten by pit strategy. Still, it was his best run of the year by far. Team: Home | Stats | News | Gear |
| 8 | Mark Martin | 0 | 1 | 8/9 | The ageless one was good but not great at Las Vegas, finishing a respectable 14th. Team: Home | Stats | News | Gear |
| 9 | Kyle Busch | 0 | 7 | 5/16 | The younger Busch finally put together an incident-free day and finished fourth after leading 27 laps. Team: Home | Stats | News | Gear |
| 10 | Tony Stewart | 0 | 2 | 1/10 | Like a lot of his fellow drivers, Stewart was awful early, going a lap down to the field. But he rallied near the end to salvage an 11th-place finish. Team: Home | Stats | News | Gear |
