All proceeds with benefit Speedway Children's Charities
--
Bristol Speedway Children's Charities was founded in 1996 to help children in the surrounding area of Bristol Motor Speedway by Bruton Smith, Chairman of the Board of Speedway Motorsports, Inc. There is a chapter of Speedway Children's Charities at each of Speedway Motorsports' six motorsports facilities.
Operating as a non-profit foundation, Bristol Speedway Children's Charities is governed by a board of local trustees whose sole purpose is to distribute the funds raised each year to qualified local children's-based 501c-3 organizations. Ms. Claudia H. Byrd serves as the director of Bristol Speedway Children's Charities.
The Bristol chapter has distributed over $4.5 million dollars since its inception.
Major fundraisers for the Bristol chapter include the Ride of a Lifetime Auction, Bristol Dragway Celebrity Golf Benefit, Baker's Construction Services Golf Tournament, Ride-along program with Richard Petty Driving Experience, Eastman Motorsports Club Auction and our flagship fundraiser: Speedway In Lights.
Speedway In Lights is a holiday light spectacular. Stretching over five miles, 1.5 million lights brighten the lives of area families and represent a holiday tradition in the Tri-Cities. The 2008-2009 season of Speedway In Lights marks the twelfth year of the show.
