The race night will also be the Fifth Annual Chance Brownlee Memorial event benefiting the Shriners Hospitals for Children. Shriners Hospitals for Children is a one-of-a-kind international health care system dedicated to improving the lives of children by providing specialty pediatric care, innovative research and outstanding teaching programs. Children up to the age of 18 with orthopedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries and cleft lip and palate are eligible for admission and receive all care in a family-centered environment at no financial obligation to patients or families.

Chance Brownlee, only sixteen at the time of his death on December 1, 2004, worked at Corpus Christi Speedway with his mother, Marcia Brownlee, who currently is the Director of Scoring at South Texas Speedway. Each year a race is held at a Corpus Christi racetrack in honor of this outstanding young man.

“The Shriner organization was very near and dear to Chance and our family,” said Ms. Brownlee, “Chance was born with a heart defect that took his life at age 16.”

The gates open at 4:00 p.m. and the racing action gets underway with the Go Karts at 6:00 p.m.
