HAMPTON, Va. - Inside Smoothie Stop's now seven-month-old store in Hampton's Peninsula Town Center, local race car driver Brenden Queen tries his hand at making a smoothie.
It's called "Flat-out for the Food Bank."
"It's really cool to be a part of something like this that I can help others that are less fortunate," Queen, who races at Langley Speedway, told News 3.
The new smoothie -- featuring orange, mango, strawberries and other fresh fruits -- was created in honor of the News 3 Food Drive, an effort to support local food banks, in anticipation of our visit. Smoothie Stop says it will donate a portion of sales over the next couple weeks to the food bank to help feed people who are hungry.
