NASCAR won’t return to Phoenix Raceway until November, but fans can return next month and drive their own cars around the track!

Phoenix Raceway will host Track Laps for Charity from 4-9 p.m. on Saturday, April 9. For a donation of $30, motorists can drive their personal vehicles around Phoenix Raceway’s iconic championship mile-long, doglegged oval.

All proceeds will benefit Arizona Accelerator Charities, a 501(c)(3) donor advised fund under The NASCAR Foundation.

“This is an amazing opportunity for race fans and car enthusiasts to drive their family and friends around the same track that will host NASCAR Championship Weekend in November,” said Phoenix Raceway President Julie Giese. “More importantly, this a one-of-a-kind thrill makes a difference throughout The Valley by supporting Arizona Accelerator Charities.”
