"This is a wonderful recipe book and will be a fantastic reference source in the kitchen," Jimmy Dean vice president of marketing Ginna Domm said. "At Jimmy Dean, we're proud to be involved in NASCAR Winston Cup racing and we think it's important that we support worthy charities like the United Cerebral Palsy Association and the Winston Cup Racing Wives Auxiliary."

United Cerebral Palsy is one of the largest health charities in the nation. It not only serves children and adults with cerebral palsy, but also people with a wide variety of physical and developmental disabilities. More than 30,000 people with disabilities receive UCP services daily.

The Winston Cup Racing Wives Auxiliary provides financial assistance and support to families of all Winston Cup teams suffering injury or tragedy as a result of participation in a Winston Cup event. Contributions are also made to medical facilities and children's hospitals across the United States.
