On Saturday, June 28th foot power will replace horse power on the surface of the historic Stafford Motor Speedway in Stafford Springs, CT. This marks the fourth annual Track Walk event for Racing Against Cancer at the facility as part of their Champions for Charities event.
Stafford Motor Speedway’s Champions for Charities race will return for a 4th consecutive season on Friday, June 27th. Each driver will be competing on and off the track in attempts to raise the most money for their charity. The driver who raises the highest amount will start on the pole, and the rest of the lineup will fall in descending order according to the total drivers have raised for their charity.
Returning in 2014 as RAC’s driver is Ted Christopher. Among his impressive resume Christopher is a 7-time Stafford SK Modified® Champion and 2008 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Champion. The Champions for Charities race will take place on Stafford’s Mini-Mile track during the Friday night program on June 27th. Each driver will be equipped with a Senior Outlaw Kart provided by Wild Thing Karts.
RAC Track Walk funds are raised by participants accepting sponsors/pledges that were credited to both themselves and their teams. Awards are presented to the adult, youth and team with the most funds raised and for the most laps completed. Those who wish to take part in this event should register their team online at RacingAgainstCancer.org. If you are unable to attend please consider a donation, which can be mailed in by check or online. Last year’s track walk was held on Saturday, June 29. Just over $8,000 was raised at this event. A total of over $20,000 has been raised by RAC during the first three events.
