She has been a Sportable athlete and volunteer for the past decade, and her work has earned her a spot as a finalist for NASCAR\u2019s Betty Jean France Humanitarian Award.<\/p>\n

The NASCAR Foundation hands out this honor each year to someone who is exemplary in their work for local children\u2019s organizations. Hannah is one of four finalists this year.<\/p>\n

With the award comes a $100,000 donation to the winner\u2019s chosen charity. The winner will be chosen through an online vote open now through November 3rd, and will be announced at NASCAR\u2019s season ending awards in Phoenix on November 4th.<\/p>\n
