The Las
Vegas Chapter of Speedway Children’s Charities will present the third annual
Laps for Charity event at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
NASCAR fans and auto enthusiasts will have the unique opportunity to drive
their personal vehicle around the 1.5-mile superspeedway at speeds up to 75
miles per hour (behind a pace car), all in the name of charity.
Laps for
Charity is open to all licensed drivers 18 years of age and older and the entry
fee is $30 per vehicle for three laps (and you can buy three more laps for just
$20). All occupants of the car must be at least 6 years of age or older. The
vehicle must be street legal. Drivers must have valid license and proof of
insurance. Car clubs and company fleets are welcome to participate.
Drivers
may have their picture taken in LVMS’s victory lane for an additional donation
of only $10. Food and beverages will
be available for sale.
The
event is sponsored by Las Vegas Motor Speedway, The CW/MY LVTV, Lotus
Broadcasting and the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
All
proceeds from Laps for Charity will benefit the Las Vegas Chapter of Speedway
Children’s Charities. More than 800 cars were entered in last year’s event and
$32,000 was raised for local children’s causes.
Participants
may register online at www.scclasvegas.org. For more information, please call
Paulette Anderson at (702) 632-8242 or e-mail SCC LV at panderson@lvms.com.
Making a
difference in a child’s life is the focus of Speedway Children’s Charities. SCC
strives to do this in collaboration with the non-profit organizations it
supports nationwide. Individually, SCC’s local chapters identify the needs of
children in their communities and award grants to organizations that address
them. Since its inception in 1999, Speedway Children’s Charities has granted
more than $2.5 million to local children’s causes.
