UPDATE Elliott Sadler Teams Up with Fellow Nascar Drivers for 2004 Charity Initiative ÃÂÃÂRace for HopeÃÂÃÂ Competition to Benefit Autism/Victory Junction Gang Camp. Elliott Sadler and twelve fellow NASCAR drivers are teaming up to fight autism with the second annual ÃÂÃÂRace for HopeÃÂÃÂ competition. Proceeds from the second annual ÃÂÃÂconsumers versus driversÃÂÃÂ event, to be held at the North Carolina NASCAR SpeedPark, will benefit the Autism Society of America as well as the Victory Junction Gang Camp.
Race for Hope will take place Tuesday, May 25th from 5:00-9:00pm/et at the Concord Mills NASCAR SpeedPark located at 8461-G1 Concord Mills Blvd. Concord, NC [the center backside of the mall] near LoweÃÂÃÂs Motor Speedway. Race for Hope will allow race fans the opportunity to race on the exciting go-kart tracks bumper-to-bumper with NASCAR drivers; obtain autographs; and experience a race fanÃÂÃÂs first — to eat a private dinner with their favorite NASCAR driver. In his second annual charity event, Sadler hopes to surpass the $45,000 M&MÃÂÃÂS Hoops for Hope raised last year and to add to the Victory Junction Gang Camp list of benefactors. The evening will also include a silent auction on site to with items such as driver uniforms, helmets and sheet metal from NASCARÃÂÃÂs top teams.
