The 9th Annual Firecracker 100 continues to be much more than a three-day race featuring the World of Outlaws Late Model Series, as well as the best late model drivers from around the country, region and area.

The newest addition to the off track festivities is the Kick-It Cup charity kickball game. Entering its third year of fundraising for Jeff Gordon Childrens Foundation, Kick-It is a grassroots fundraising movement dedicated to improve and accelerate advancements in pediatric cancer research by inspiring individuals across the country to play kickball. It was founded in 2009 by a 10-year-old battling cancer and has already raised more than one million dollars, including tens of thousands donated by race fans across the country. Were thrilled just to be a small part of this fundraising community and the Firecracker Kick-It Cup is always an entertaining event.

The third annual Firecracker 100 Kick-It Cup will be contested on Friday afternoon (June 26) of the huge World of Outlaws Late Model Series weekend, pitting two teams comprised of WoO LMS, regional and Lernerville driving stars against each other in a kick-ball game designed to raise awareness and money for programs and research devoted to childhood cancer.

The Firecracker 100 Kick-It Cup will be played at 1 p.m. on Friday, June 26, on the football field in the Lernerville Speedway camping area. It will see more than a dozen late model drivers test the strength of their kicking legs. The group will include Gregg Satterlee, Shane Clanton, Rick Eckert, Tim McCreadie, Morgan Bagley, Boom Briggs, Eric Wells and several others.
