Raceway hosts Track Laps for Charity
Darlington Raceway will host six Track Laps for Charity events, including two as part of its 2022 NASCAR race weeks, this season.
Track Laps for Charity offers fans the opportunity to drive their personal vehicles around the track Too Tough To Tame for a donation of $20. All proceeds from each event will support the beneficiary charity and Darlington Shares.
“Track Laps for Charity is one of our most popular experiences at the track Too Tough To Tame, so we look forward to expanding the amount of our events to six this season,” said Kerry Tharp, Darlington Raceway president.
“As we expand our Track Laps program to give back to the Palmetto State, fans will have an event bigger impact in supporting local charities in our community. The opportunity for race fans to take friends and family for laps in their personal vehicles around the track Too Tough to Tame is always a memorable experience.”
This is the third year of Track Laps for Charity events as Darlington Raceway continues to partner with organizations making a difference in our community.
