    Jeff Gordon's efforts to raise awareness of hunger in America and money to fight it will be aided by a new sponsor in Saturday night's race at Richmond International Raceway.

    Chase Card Services will put the AARP Visa Card and the Chase logo on the hood and decklid of the No. 24 Chevrolet at Richmond and again at Dover later this month. The sponsorship is in cooperation with the AARP's Drive to End Hunger campaign, which this year became the first cause-related primary sponsor of a major race team.

    Since signing on as sponsor of the four-time NASCAR champion, the AARP Foundation has raised more than $12 million toward the campaign through individual and corporate donations. In addition, the Drive to End Hunger has provided more than 3.1 million meals for hungry older Americans through local hunger relief organizations.
