Drivers will complete five to seven laps at speeds up to 75 mph on the superspeedway, with proceeds benefiting Speedway Children's Charities.
Paulette Anderson, the executive director of the Las Vegas chapter of Speedway Children's Charities, highlighted the importance of the event's mission during a recent live television interview, emphasizing its direct impact on the community.
"Since its inception in 1999, Speedway Children's Charities has granted more than $5 million to local children's causes throughout Southern Nevada. Grants are given to a variety of organizations and most likely have touched the life of someone you know. These funds were raised by the generous support of the racing, corporate, and local communities," the nonprofit charity explained.
The event is open to NASCAR fans, car enthusiasts, and first-time participants alike. To ensure safety, all vehicles and drivers must meet specific guidelines, and participants are required to register and pay in advance, as same-day registration will not be available.
Since its founding, Speedway Children's Charities has worked to improve the lives of children in Southern Nevada by distributing funds to a wide variety of local organizations. The Las Vegas chapter's events, including Laps For Charity, have become a staple in uniting racing culture with charitable giving.
The Las Vegas Motor Speedway will also welcome NASCAR fans for the South Point 400 on Oct. 12. Tickets for the race are available online, providing fans an additional opportunity to experience the excitement of the track.
With Laps For Charity – Under The Lights, the community has the chance to enjoy the thrill of driving on the speedway while contributing to causes that benefit children across the region.
