The Tony Stewart “Smoke Show” fantasy camp, held Tuesday at Texas Motor Speedway, raised more than $200,000 to benefit the Speedway Children’s Charities-Texas Chapter for the third consecutive year. The “Smoke Show,” a driving school extravaganza hosted by two-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Tony Stewart, raised a one-day total of $202,000 to push the program’s three-year charitable donations for SCC-Texas to $676,000. The “Smoke Show” remains the highest-grossing, single-day event for the Speedway Children’s Charities-Texas Chapter. The “Smoke Show” attracted 25 participants for this year’s edition of the ultimate motorsports fantasy camp hosted by Stewart. The fastest lap was posted by Kelly Reed, of Erath, La., at 148.350 mph (36.4 seconds) on Texas Motor Speedway’s 1.5-mile oval.(TMS)(8-19-2010)
