Martinsville Speedway To Host Red Cross Blood Drive On September 16

By giving an hour of their time and rolling up their sleeves, race fans can help others and pick up a little racing excitement for themselves through an American Red Cross blood drive at Martinsville Speedway on Monday, September 16.

The American Red Cross will be set up in the infield of Martinsville Speedway from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. on September 16 to collect much-needed blood.

Anyone registering to donate a pint of blood will receive a certificate for a free ticket to the Martinsville Speedway Pole Day on October 25. The Goody’sHeadache Relief Shot 500 Powered by Kroger NASCAR Sprint Cup race is scheduled for October 27, the day after the Kroger 200 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race.

“Race fans are the best when it comes to giving back to their communities,” said Martinsville Speedway President Clay Campbell. “This is a great chance to help others. It’s one of those things we love to be involved with. I know many of our employees will be rolling up their sleeves and we expect many other folks to help out, too.”

To make an appointment, call 800.RED.CROSS or visit redcrossblood.org online. While appointments are suggested, non-scheduled donors will be accepted on the day of the drive.
