Laps for Charity Hosted by Speedway Children’s Charities is Back for Its Fourth Consecutive Year

The Kentucky Chapter of Speedway Children’s Charities will host its Fourth Annual Laps for Charity from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 19 at Kentucky Speedway. Weather permitting, this fundraiser will be held one week prior to the track’s September race weekend, which includes the ARCA Racing Series Crosley 150 and NASCAR XFINITY Series VisitMyrtleBeach.com 300.

 

This family-friendly event allows fans the opportunity to drive five laps around the track in their street-legal personal vehicles and have their photo taken in Victory Lane. The cost for this opportunity is $40 per vehicle. Drivers may purchase additional rides of five laps for $30 apiece. Each five-lap ride is an entry for the driver to win the door prize, a 1:24 Dale Earnhardt Jr. diecast.

 

“There is nothing better than experiencing the thrill of NASCAR’s roughest track from behind the wheel of your personal vehicle,” said Chapter Director Dayna Winslette. “What makes this fundraiser even more exciting is sharing the moment with your family and friends while supporting children in need in Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana.”

 

All funds raised from this event are put directly back into the tri-state community through SCC’s annual grant distribution program, where funding is provided to non-profit children’s organizations who care for children in educational, financial, social and medical need.

 

Participants are encouraged to visit http://kentucky.speedwaycharities.org/events/ in advance of the event and read the complete list of rules and regulations, which details age restrictions, vehicle requirements and more. The charity’s Facebook and Twitter pages will also provide updates leading up to the event, especially if inclement weather is predicted for the area.
