Fund-racing
Charlotte Motor Speedway has once again invited Make-A-Wish to be a part of their Fund-Racing Program. This year, for every $25 gift card purchased through Charlotte Motor Speedway, they will give us $10. This opportunity is great for birthdays and other special events and the gift card can be used to purchase tickets to enjoy racing excitement at Charlotte Motor Speedway, zMAX Dragway, or The Dirt Track @ Charlotte. If you are interested in purchasing a gift card, contact Chad Thomas at (704) 454-6401. Be sure to tell him you heard about this promotion through the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
