Speedway Children’s
Charities is proud to be the official charity of Texas Motor Speedway.
Since 1997, the Texas Chapter of Speedway Children's Charities has
distributed more than $7.5 million in funding to children's organizations
surrounding Texas Motor Speedway. The funds distributed by Speedway Children's
Charities are raised through special events held throughout the year. Most of
Speedway Children's Charities events are geared around the three major race
weeks at Texas Motor Speedway. From golf tournaments to celebrity clay shoots
and bowling tournaments, SCC is raising money for children and giving you access
to some of the biggest names in racing.
