Darlington Raceway, Sport Clips Haircuts and the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) are asking for race fans to help support the Help a Hero campaign by purchasing a ticket for the upcoming NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Southern 500 race weekend on May 11-12.
For every adult ticket sold starting today and through the week of March 12-18 (Monday thru Sunday) to either the Sprint Cup Series Southern 500 or Nationwide Series VFW Sport Clips Help a Hero 200, Darlington Raceway will make a $2 donation per ticket to support the VFW.
With numerous military bases and personnel stationed in South Carolina, Darlington Raceway fans and local communities are supportive of the U.S. Armed Forces and the veterans that have served our country since the track opened in 1950.
This opportunity will give fans the chance to support the VFW and our nation’s veterans, while also enjoying NASCAR’s best racing during the Sprint Cup Series Southern 500 or the Nationwide Series VFW Sport Clips Help a Hero 200, or both.
“We value our strong relationship with the VFW and Sport Clips Haircuts and are more than happy to donate $2 for every ticket sold next week to support their initiatives,” Darlington Raceway President Chris Browning said. “The military presence is well known in the state of South Carolina so to be able to give back to the veterans and active service members through the VFW makes this a win-win situation for everyone.”
