Memphis Motorsports Park officials announced that the Kroger grocery store chain will sponsor the track’s Nationwide Series race in October.
The Oct. 25 race will officially be entitled the Kroger On Track for the Cure 250 presented by the Southern Dodge Dealers. Also, Kroger is returning as official grocery and pharmacy retailer of the track.
Kroger is a sponsor of Memphis-area Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure events that raise money and awareness for breast cancer research. As part of the track sponsorship, chapters of Susan G. Komen for the Cure in Memphis, Jackson, Miss., and Little Rock, Ark., will be direct recipients of awareness and fundraising initiatives between Kroger and Memphis Motorsports Park that culminate in October, which is also National Breast Cancer Awareness Month
In October, a portion of all race ticket sales will support local breast cancer community health programs.
Financial terms of the sponsorship were not announced.
