The NASCAR Foundation’s Speediatrics Fun Day Festivals Powered by Kaulig Racing is set to return in 2026, kicking off at the World Center of Racing ahead of the DAYTONA 500.
This is the fifth consecutive year Kaulig Racing has partnered with The NASCAR Foundation to support the Speediatrics Fun Day Festivals. The initiative itself began in 2017, bringing the NASCAR-themed field days to various tracks across the country.
“We’re really looking forward to seeing the Speediatrics Fun Day Festivals back in full swing with Kaulig Racing returning as a partner,” said Nichole Krieger, Executive Director and Vice President of The NASCAR Foundation. “Their ongoing support helps us bring the joy of NASCAR to even more children in our racing communities. Together, we’re not just creating fun experiences, we’re inspiring kids to live healthier lives and strengthening the bonds that make our sport’s communities so special.”
The 2026 Fun Day Festival campaign officially kicked off on Monday, Feb. 9, with The NASCAR Foundation delivering Speediatrics Fit Kits to Dayton State College, benefitting students from Food Brings Hope Community.
Then, on Friday, Feb. 13, the first Speediatrics Fun Day Festival takes place at Daytona International Speedway from 9:00 – 11:00 a.m. Students from Food Brings Hope will participate in a variety of NASCAR-themed field day events and receive a new bike and helmet in partnership with Brown & Brown Insurance and Daytona Beach Racing and Rec., as well as a new pair of brand name sneakers.
“NASCAR has an incredible way of bringing people together, and for us at Kaulig Racing and Kaulig Giving, it’s always been about using that platform to make a real difference off the track,” said Matt Kaulig, team owner of Kaulig Racing. “Kicking off the ‘Speediatrics Fun Day Festival partnership in Daytona with The NASCAR Foundation and Food Brings Hope allows us to turn race weekends into moments of impact in 16 NASCAR community markets across the country, including surprising kids with bikes and helmets- inspiring them to live healthier, happier lives and showing them that this sport, and this community, truly cares about their future.”
The Speediatrics Fun Day Festivals Powered by Kaulig Racing will take place in 16 different racing markets across the United States, beginning in Daytona and finishing in Miami. Each market will have various partners supporting the campaign across the track regions, from Straight Talk Wireless in Phoenix to DQS Staffing in Michigan, with Dollar Tree serving as the Snack Pack Partner and Kaulig Racing as Presenting Partner throughout the season.
