Richmond Raceway will host Track Laps for Charity presented by Sheetz on Saturday, Aug. 15 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Track Laps for Charity provides fans the opportunity to drive their personal vehicles around Richmond Raceway for a donation of $20. All proceeds will benefit Richmond Raceway Cares and Special Olympics Virginia.
“Track Laps for Charity offers fans the unforgettable experience of driving their personal vehicles around Richmond Raceway’s iconic ¾-mile D-shaped oval for a good cause,” said Richmond President Dennis Bickmeier. “As fans take their laps around the track, they will know their donation will have a positive impact in the community.”
Sheetz also partners with the track on the Sheetz Neighborhood in the FanGrounds, the Sheetz Scout Village, and the Scout Experience presented by Sheetz. The company entered into a multiyear partnership with the raceway in September.
“We are excited to partner with Richmond Raceway on this unique opportunity for race fans and anyone who has ever dreamed of taking a quick lap around the track,” said Sheetz Public Relations Manager Nick Ruffner. “More importantly, we are proud to support Special Olympics Virginia, who transforms countless lives through the joy of sport, teamwork and friendship.”
Sheetz has been a supporter of the Special Olympics through financial contributions, product donations and event volunteers. Special Olympics provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.
“What a great opportunity for Special Olympics Virginia to be the beneficiary of the upcoming Track Laps for Charity through our partnership with Richmond Raceway and Sheetz,” said Rick Jeffrey.
All drivers must be 18 years of age or older with a valid state-issued driver’s license, and drivers and passengers must sign waivers in advance. Motorcycles are not permitted. The maximum speed allowed is 55 mph.
