Nascar Foundation Track Walk

The NASCAR Foundation Track Walk Returns to Dover International Speedway

NASCAR Drivers and Celebrities Participating in Annual Fundraising Event


The NASCAR Foundation Track Walk is once again returning to Dover International Speedway on Saturday, June 2, following the Dover 200, NASCAR Busch Series race (ESPN2, 2:30 p.m. EST). NASCAR fans will get the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to walk the “Monster Mile” while raising money for worthy causes.


The 2007 Track Walk will mark the fourth annual event hosted by the Dover, Del. facility and will kick-off the start of The NASCAR Foundation’s charity walk season. Fans will be able to experience the grooves of the famous Monster Mile with the added benefit of walking with well-known members of the NASCAR community.

This year’s event brings several drivers and charity representatives together to walk in the name of their non-profit organizations including NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series drivers Greg Biffle, Juan Pablo Montoya, J.J. Yeley, Ward Burton and Dale Jarrett. The Victory Junction Gang Camp and the Women’s Auxiliary of Motorsports (WAM) will also be joining the festivities.

As an added incentive to the Track Walk in Dover, walkers are able to raise additional funds for the charities through the online fundraising campaign. Registered walkers that raise over $100 are eligible for some unique prizes. This is a great way to involve family and friends that may not be able to participate in the walk.

The Dover event is the first of many charity walks this race season in which fans can participate and get a driver’s perspective of the tracks. The Track Walks are popular events for fans and members of the community and provide entertainment while helping out The NASCAR Foundation and its Family of Charities.

Registration fees are $30 for each individual. Children under the age of 14 can participate for free, but must be accompanied by a paying adult. Participants can register to walk with one of the special guest’s groups or in the general walking group. Fans are also able to create their own webpage and encourage family and friends to support them in their fundraising efforts.

Proceeds from this Track Walk will benefit The NASCAR Foundation and its Family of Charity organizations that participate in the event.
