KASEY KAHNE FOUNDATION’S SAGE FRUIT SHOWDOWN AT SKAGIT SPEEDWAY
Sage Fruit Company and Kasey Kahne will team up on August 27 for a sprint car race to benefit The Kasey Kahne Foundation
MOORESVILLE, NC (June 21, 2010) -- Kasey Kahne returns to his racing roots on Friday, August 27 to compete at Skagit Speedway. The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series star began racing at the local dirt track in Alger, Washington when he was 15 years old. This will be Kahne’s third charity event at his hometown track. “We are really excited to have Kasey coming home to Skagit Speedway. He is a class act, no matter how famous he gets he never forgets about where he came from,” says Skagit Speedway owner Steve Beitler.
Kasey Kahne Foundation’s Sage Fruit Showdown will feature a 360 sprint car race showcasing the area’s best 360 drivers. In addition to promoting the event, Kahne will also compete, driving his own #4 Kasey Kahne Racing entry.
“It’s always a neat opportunity when you can return to the track where you got your start in racing,” said Kahne, driver of the #9 Budweiser Ford in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. “We’ve had a few foundation events at Skagit Speedway in the past and they’ve always produced some great racing and benefit a good cause.”
Aside from great racing, all of the proceeds will benefit the Kasey Kahne Foundation. The Kasey Kahne Foundation supports disadvantaged youth and chronically ill children and their families. "The Kasey Kahne Foundation is a great organization. Skagit Speedway and the fans in the Northwest have always supported it,” said Beitler.
Tickets go on sale beginning June 24th by calling the Skagit Speedway Office (360) 724-3567 during weekday business hours. They accept Visa and MasterCard. Tickets will be available at the racetrack the day of the race, if not sold out.
If you purchase your race ticket between June 24th and July 31st, you will be entered into a drawing where 75 lucky fans will win access to an autograph session with Kahne. Visit www.kaseykahnefoundation.org for more details.
There will be a Question & Answer session with Kahne during the race. Ticket holders are encouraged to submit questions to info@kaseykahnefoundation.org. Winning questions will be chose on August 10 and winners will receive an autographed photo from Kahne.
