Less than a month before NASCAR Championship Weekend returns to The Valley, Phoenix Raceway will host Track Laps for Charity from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, October 16. For a donation of $25, motorists can drive their personal vehicles around Phoenix Raceway’s iconic championship mile-long, doglegged oval.
All proceeds will benefit Arizona Accelerator Charities, a 501(c)(3) donor advised fund under The NASCAR Foundation.
“This is an amazing opportunity for race fans and car enthusiasts to drive their family and friends around the same track that will host NASCAR Championship Weekend in November,” said Phoenix Raceway President Julie Giese. “More importantly, this a one-of-a-kind thrill will make a difference throughout The Valley by supporting Arizona Accelerator Charities.”
Arizona Accelerator Charities’ mission is to accelerate the development of children in Arizona by supporting education, children and families of our military and military veterans, and life enrichment programs for children and families in our community.
To secure this unique opportunity, motorists must register in advance at phoenixraceway.com/tracklaps. To participate in Track Laps for Charity:
