Drive Your Car at Sonoma Raceway for Charity

Ever dreamed of hitting the Sonoma Raceway road course during NASCAR weekend in your own car? Now you can, all in the name of charity! Speedway Children’s Charities will host Laps for Charity on Friday June 4, 2021. Participants will take part in the first ever Laps for Charity during NASCAR weekend.

This lead-and-follow session will consist of three spirited laps across the Start/Finish line and through the Carousel on the 12-turn, 2.52-mile road course.
