Richard Petty Motorsports drivers to race at Ray Evernham's East Lincoln Speedway
Richard Petty Motorsports drivers Kasey Kahne, Elliott Sadler and AJ Allmendinger will join team co-owner Ray Evernham at East Lincoln Speedway in North Carolina on Sept. 30 as Stanley tools presents a special night to raise money for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Charlotte Affiliate, an organization that helps fund breast cancer community outreach programs.
The three NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers will drive open-wheel race cars in a match race at the Evernham-owned 3/8ths-mile dirt track northwest of Charlotte. Sadler will be the guest commentator for the event during the time that he is not racing.
Four fans will win a ride-along in a two-seat sprint car with Evernham or Kahne. The event will also feature a silent auction of NASCAR memorabilia and Komen for the Cure items. VIP ticket holders will receive driver autographs, a commemorative ticket, a Stanley gift bag and access to VIP areas.
Also on the card will be dirt-track racing action in the Steele Rubber Products Limited Sportsman division, Open Wheel Modified division, Micro Sprints and the CV Products Renegades.
Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the East Lincoln Speedway ticket office, which is open today and Wednesday and Sept. 28-29 from 4-7 p.m. EDT. The ticket office is also open this Saturday, beginning at noon.
Admission for children 10 and under is $5. VIP tickets are $30.
Gates open at 5 p.m., with racing at 7. The Susan G. Komen for the Cure Charlotte Affiliate will receive a minimum of 50 percent of the proceeds from each ticket sold and 100 percent of the donations from the silent auction items.
