As the nation marks the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, The American Red Cross and Charlotte Motor Speedway are partnering for the tenth annual Laps for Life Blood drive at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The blood drive is being hosted at the Paddock Club, located in the speedway’s infield.
In place of opening ceremonies held annually to kick off the drive, first responders and victims’ names will scroll on the 16,000-square-foot HDTV.
Donors will receive a commemorative Laps for Life Red Cross T-shirt and an opportunity to drive their vehicle on the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL™. Donors will also receive complimentary ticket to the Speedway Christmas drive-thru light show as well as a coupon via email for a free haircut from Sport Clips.
