This week kicks off the 10 biggest days in racing and the Charlotte Chapter of Speedway Children’s Charities is providing many opportunities for fans to support a good cause and have some fun during NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race and Coca-Cola 600 race weeks at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Krispy Kreme Doughnuts
During Coca-Cola 600 Race Weekend, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts will be selling their famous doughnuts with all proceeds going to the Charlotte Chapter of Speedway Children’s Charities. Single doughnuts will be on sale for $1. Fans can purchase a half-dozen for $5 or a dozen doughnuts for $8. SCC volunteers will also be making deliveries. For more information, visit www.speedwaycharities.org.
Johnsonville Big Taste Grill
The Johnsonville Big Taste Grill will return to Charlotte Motor Speedway for the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race and Coca-Cola 600 Race Weekends. Weighing in at 53,000 pounds and 65-feet long, the Big Taste Grill requires its own semi-truck to haul it and can cook more than 750 brats at a time. To purchase a Johnsonville Brat, stop by the huge grill in the infield. Proceeds go to the Charlotte Chapter of Speedway Children’s Charities.
Princess “4” a Day and Toy “4” a Boy
The Miss Motor Speedway Organization will bring its Princess “4” a Day and Toy “4” a Boy Programs to the POWERADE Play Zone located in the newly paved Fan Zone near the speedway’s main entrance, for the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race and Coca-Cola 600 Race Weekends. For a small donation, girls can “get their glamour on” with a princess makeover including make-up, hair and nails, along with a “glamour shot” photo, gift bag and a Miss Motor Speedway autograph card. Boys will receive a toy car. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Charlotte Chapter of Speedway Children’s Charities.
