Along with all of the great racing at the Tri-County Race Track
on Monday, May 30, several other exciting things will truly
make this a "Can't Miss Event for the Entire Family."
From 5:00-6:00 p.m., there will be pit tours available for all
kids ages twelve and under. Those children will be taken through
the pit area to see all of the cars and get their picture taken
or an autograph from their favorite driver(s). After the pit
tour, the kids will receive a free t-shirt and a free meal ticket
for the grandstand concession stand where they can get something
to eat and drink. The children's pit tour is courtesy of reallycheapfloors.com.
In addition, we will also recognize all of the veterans in
attendance on Memorial Day by asking them to stand, so that
the entire crowd can honor them for their service and sacrifice.
Also, a portion of the night's ticket sales will go towards
the Clay County Relay for Life. This is a great cause and the
Tri-County Race Track is excited to partner with them on Memorial
Day. Last but not least, a fireworks display will light up the
sky during the intermission session.
