Homestead-Miami Speedway, in conjunction with the YMCA of Greater Miami and its Homestead YMCA Family Center celebrates NASCAR Day’s 8th Anniversary on Friday. Those visiting Homestead-Miami Speedway took a quick lap on the very same track where NASCAR will crown Champions during Ford Championship Weekend Nov. 18-20 then pulled into the infield to have their cars washed by YMCA of Greater Miami volunteers and Speedway staff. For a $10 donation, attendees received a car wash, a paced lap on the Homestead-Miami Speedway oval, and a commemorative NASCAR Unites wrist band.
‘Car Wash for Kids’ is a NASCAR Unites national fundraiser which has a goal of raising $1 million in an effort to better the lives of children. Today marks NASCAR Day’s 8th Anniversary, through which NASCAR has raised nearly $8 million for charitable initiatives.
