FORT WORTH, Texas (Nov. 9, 2026) – Speedway Children’s Charities at Texas Motor Speedway is set to host its annual Grant Ceremony presented by Charles Schwab followed by fireworks and a free holiday-themed, drive-in movie night on Friday, Nov. 20, inside the infield of “The Great American Speedway.”

During the evening, SCC-Texas will distribute $325,000 to more than 35 non-profit organizations that serve over 24,000 children in Collin, Dallas, Denton and Tarrant counties. Prior to the start of the ceremony, children will have the opportunity to take their photo with Santa as he makes his way through the TMS infield. There also will be an opportunity for the kids to write a letter to Santa. 

Directly following the ceremony, visitors will be treated to a spectacular fireworks show provided by Ben E. Keith and a free drive-in style showing of the 2003 holiday classic, “Elf,” courtesy of Hillwood. The holiday movie will be shown on “Big Hoss,” the largest single LED screen of any sports facility in North America. Complimentary hot cocoa, cookies and popcorn will be provided by Levy Restaurants.

The annual grant ceremony is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. with gates opening at 5:30 p.m. Attendees can enter the TMS infield by utilizing the South Tunnel on South Allison Avenue, which is located off Texas State Highway 114 west of Roanoke.
