2012 Pinto Stampede to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project

The second-annual Pinto Stampede will take place May 17-20, beginning at Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee and ending in Summit Point, W.Va., at the Jefferson 500. For those keeping track, that's 600 miles in a car that some would have you believe is little more than a rolling Molotov cocktail. For the second time, the Pinto Stampede will benefit the Wounded Warrior Project, an organization that aims to “honor and empower wounded warriors” of the U.S.

Despite those assurances, sources had reported earlier in the year that Sheriff “hadn't been seen in his office” for some days.
