Including in the activity will be a test session by ROMCO Super Late Model Series teams and the “Laps for Charity” for fans. Several of the leading ROMCO teams, including defending race winner Chris Davidson, will participate Thursday in a five-hour test session preparing for the June 7 Young Chevrolet 100 that will precede the Bombardier 500k Indy Racing League IndyCar Series race. Also scheduled to test are Greg Davidson, T. Wade Welch, Bradley Riethmeyer, Ronnie Hall, Kent Baltzell and Graham Baker. The Young Chevrolet 100 will be contested for a distance of 70 laps around the 1.5-mile superspeedway. Last year’s race was 50 laps. As was the case for the 2002 debut of the series at Texas Motor Speedway, a carburetor restrictor plate will be utilized to control speeds. FANS TAKE OVER – Fans get the opportunity to take over the speedway Saturday night, May 10 from 6-10 p.m. during the “Laps for Charity” presented by Young Chevrolet. Participants can take their street vehicles for three-lap segments around the superspeedway in a controlled-speed setting for a donation of $25 to Speedway Children’s Charities. All passengers in “Laps for Charity” must be at least six years of age to ride around the speedway. The Speedway Children’s Charities-Texas chapter has distributed $1,880,000 to area children’s organizations the past six years. Speedway Children’s Charities is a non-profit foundation that distributes funds to qualified children’s charities.
