NickHolt Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Texas Motor Speedway Media Relations, (817) 215-8520 CONTACT: Sarona Winfrey -- Gary Guehler -- For Immediate Release RACE FANS GET THE CHANCE TO DRIVE THE SPEEDWAY MAY 8 FORT WORTH-DALLAS (April 15, 2004) – Hundreds of thousands of race fans watched some of racing’s greatest drivers compete at Texas Motor Speedway recently during the Samsung/RadioShack 500 weekend. Now it is the fans’ turn to drive on “The Great American Speedway” during the annual Speedway Children’s Charities Laps for Charity Saturday evening, May 8, from 6 to 10 p.m. Laps for Charity gives race fans the rare opportunity to drive their passenger vehicles around the 1.5-mile superspeedway under controlled conditions. Participants will get to drive three laps around Texas Motor Speedway for a $25 donation to the Texas chapter of Speedway Children’s Charities. Multiple sets of laps may be purchased. “Laps for Charity is the only opportunity for race fans to drive on the same speedway as the best drivers from NASCAR and the Indy Racing League,” said speedway general manager Eddie Gossage. “It is a great event for individuals, families, car clubs and race fans. Fans can even have their picture taken with their vehicle in Victory Lane.” Fans participating in the May 8 Laps for Charity can enter the speedway infield through the south tunnel at Gate 8. Participants’ speed during Laps for Charity will be controlled by a pace car on the speedway. A driver’s license is required to drive in Laps for Charity and all passengers must be at least six years of age. Speedway Children’s Charities Texas Chapter assists youth-based organizations in Tarrant, Dallas, Denton and Collin counties. More than $2.3 million has been provided to area youth organizations by the local chapter since 1997.
