Healthy Smiles of Indiana

Healthy Smiles of Indiana won the Fifth Third Bank Small Business “What Drives You” contest and will have their logo featured on the decklid of Stenhouse’s Ford this weekend.

In 2007, Dr. Chad A. Matchett gave up private practice dentistry to help thousands of children in Central Indiana receive preventive dental care in a traditional dental office. Healthy Smiles turns an empty classroom into a dental office for the day where he and his wife provide dental services free of charge in more than 75 schools to families in need.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. on Daytona:

“I’m really looking forward to Daytona this weekend. Our superspeedway cars have been really strong this year especially in Talladega. Earlier this year at Daytona and Talladega, the end of stages were exciting because as we are seeing the stage points are critical for the playoffs. Hopefully we can stay out of trouble and maybe put this Fifth Third Ford back in victory lane.”
