For racers, the biggest race of their lives involves the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat. However, for many people, their biggest race is not a battle between cars, but instead a battle against drug dependency. In conjunction with the RAD Racing Team, NELMA and Sundance Vacations Speedway will play host to a group of recent Stay on Track graduates for the annual NELMA blockbuster on Sat. Oct. 23, 2010 at Sundance Vacations Speedway in St. Johns, Pa.

Stay on Track is the choice substance abuse prevention and life skills curriculum for schools across the United States. Race Against Drugs is a national network of positive role models that are dedicated to helping America’s youth by volunteering their time and resources to attend local community events, and develop fundraising programs to assist with the design of promotional items that convey the importance of making positive choices.

NELMA and Sundance Vacations Speedway are proud to play host for a program that prides itself on "fueling a drug free future."

“For many, including I, racing was a positive outlet for someone with lots of ambition and energy,” says NELMA promoter J.A. Ackley. “When I approached Sundance Vacations Speedway promoter Joe Callavini, he was enthusiastic for the good cause and agreed that our event would be a perfect host for these kids.”

Sundance Vacations Speedway’s 2010 Late Model Champion, Justin Onderko, is the track’s representative for Race Against Drugs. Onderko has spent the past year as spokesperson for the program and proved that you can have great success living a drug-free lifestyle.

The Stay on Track graduates will experience an action-packed day of racing and entertainment during NELMA’s annual event, the premier stock car racing event held on Sat. Oct. 23 at Sundance Vacations Speedway in St. Johns, Pa. The day features three divisions with fierce competition from all corners of the Eastern Seaboard – the NELMA Late Model Challenge, NELMA Legends Car Fall Classic, and the NELMA Street Stock Fender Fury. With the Hazleton Rat Rod Festival and Automotive Swap Meet (10AM-2PM) preceding the event, the day’s activities is making Sat., October 23 at Sundance Vacations Speedway in St. Johns, Pa. a worthy mid-Autumn venture. For competitors, pits open at 8 AM, with practice beginning at 10 AM. For NELMA fans, grandstands will open at 12 noon, with qualifying to begin at 12:30 PM, and the show to start at 2 PM. The rain date for the show is Sunday, October 24.

And, best yet, despite being a special show, grandstand adult admission is still only $10, with kids who are 10 years old and under free. So bring the entire family, and enjoy a day of thrilling, high-octane excitement without breaking the bank.
