The event is part of Lowe's pledge to donate $1 million to support tornado relief and rebuilding efforts. Lowe's matched Johnson's earnings from Sunday's NASCAR race and has donated nearly $650,000 to assist tornado victims.

Lowe's stores nationwide are accepting donations at every register, and donors also can contribute at Lowes.com.
