on.” In addition to 100 laps of ISMA on the October 1st race card is a 50
Lap Open Rules Street Stock Race, with $1000 going to the winner plus lap
money. The Lee USA Speedway Small Block Super Modifieds are also scheduled

McDonald House of Providence as the primary benefactor, in addition to
other cancer related causes. “RAC and Seekonk Speedway hope that the fans,
Seekonk teams and local community will come together for a fun motorsports
based activity to support a great cause. It really is a great way to bond
and enjoy the pre-race morning with your fellow competitors or meet and
talk with your favorite driver while walking on the legendary Seekonk
Speedway surface,” stated Scott Gregory, Co-founder of the RAC Team.
Racing Against Cancer™ will be present at Seekonk Speedway throughout the
2011 racing season to promote their Track Walk program through organizing
teams for the Track Walk, soliciting volunteers and to answer any
questions.

patient services, youth tobacco educational programs, and awareness, was
founded in 1996; the original goal was to raise awareness and funds for
the American Cancer Society. Through the efforts of many generous and
talented racing teams and organizations, the Racing Against Cancer™
program has generated in excess of $680,000 for the fight against cancer
since the team’s inception. In 2010 the RAC Team expanded its list of
benefactors to twelve, including David’s House of New Hampshire, Victory
Junction Gang Camp, Ronald McDonald House of Providence, Ronald McDonald
House of Charlotte, St. Judes, and other patient care services. For more
