Stafford Motor Speedway along with CARQUEST Auto
Parts are constantly searching for innovative ways to be involved in the
community through local charitable organizations and 2011 will be no
different with the addition of the CARQUEST Champions for Charities race
event. This special event, which is set to accompany the 8th Annual CARQUEST
Extreme Tuesday event on June 28, 2011, will be an invitation only format
that will pair charitable organizations with talented open-wheel champions
from the past and the present. Stafford Speedway and CARQUEST will post a
guaranteed minimum donation of $3,000 to the driver's charities.
"The concept is to get the fans and charitable organizations involved in a
fun event that will showcase driving talents of past open-wheel champions,"
said Mark Arute, Stafford Speedway General Manger, "We feel that the
CARQUEST Champions for Charities event will compliment the already exciting
CARQUEST Extreme Tuesday show offering a unique experience for the drivers
and the fans."
The race format is two 8-lap qualifying races and a 15-lap feature on the
Stafford Mini Mile with drivers piloting Senior Outlaw Caged Go-Karts from
the Wild Thing Kart Series. Each driver will have a specified charity that
they will be representing. Beginning in January and culminating on the race
day, fans will be able to donate money to their favorite driver's charity.
The driver posting the most funds raised will obtain a preferred starting
position in the qualifying races. Stafford Speedway and CARQUEST are
pledging a guaranteed $3,000 dollars to be distributed evenly to all the
driver charities.
"At CARQUEST we strive to bring the fans the most exciting events possible,
we are very excited to be able to add a unique event to the Extreme Tuesday
show," said CARQUEST Vice President of Marketing Rich Pallai. "Giving back
to the community is very important to us and being able to pair that with a
new exciting racing event is exactly what the CARQUEST/Stafford Speedway
partnership is about."
CARQUEST Extreme Tuesday will take place on June 28, 2011 and will also
feature the ISMA Super Modifieds, NEMA Midgets, and Pro-4 Modifieds. For
