Sandy suffered a near-fatal crash in October 2000 but after six months of nursing care and rehabilitation she has recovered and is currently training and seeking sponsors for her return to NASCAR racing with the D2D Racing Team this spring.

Sandy Rose is dedicated to using her sport and her inspirational story to mentor and educate local youth and families about racing, responsibility, and reaching for your dreams. The D2D team, lead by Sandy Rose, volunteers over 1200 hours per year to programs such as Safe Havens for Little People, Girl and Boy Scouts of America, foster care programs, women's, youth and non-profit organizations. Sandy also speaks at colleges, middle schools, community-based organizations, and businesses.

She helps organize racers from the Junior Dragsters and Winston Cup show cars to visit schools to teach youth to reach for dreams and not drugs (racersagainstdrugs.org).
