Darlington Raceway will offer fans the opportunity to drive their personal vehicles around the iconic 1.366-mile egg-shaped oval with Track Laps for Charity on Aug. 21 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

For a donation of $20 per car, fans will drive three laps around the track “Too Tough to Tame” to support Blessings in a Backpack.

“Blessings in a Backpack is an organization that is serving communities across the nation to help end childhood hunger,” said Darlington President Kerry Tharp. “We are proud to support this outstanding organization by welcoming our loyal fans to the track Too Tough To Tame for a fun community event to benefit a worthy cause.”

This is the third Track Laps for Charity event of the year as Darlington Raceway continues to partner with organizations making a difference in communities. The first two Track Laps for Charity benefited Donate Life South Carolina with Sport Clips, the Official Hair Care Service Provider of Darlington Raceway, in June.

“Blessings in a Backpack is thrilled to partner with our friends at Darlington Raceway,” said Beth Bush, director of athletic partnerships. “In an effort to spread awareness on childhood hunger, Blessings and Darlington Shares will impact the Darlington community by providing over 1,300 hunger-free weekends through donations made at the Track laps for Charity event.”
