FORT WORTH, Texas (May 6, 2026) – In addition to enjoying a thrilling and action-packed NASCAR tripleheader weekend at Texas Motor Speedway, race fans made an impact on the lives of children across North Texas by helping raise more than $180,000 for Speedway Children’s Charities (SCC), the official charity of Speedway Motorsports.
Funds were raised through numerous events during the weekend, including:
- Bill Walker Memorial Gears & Greens Golf Tournament presented by Premier Truck Group: The NASCAR tripleheader weekend kicked off with the annual charity golf tournament at the DFW Marriott Hotel & Golf Club at Champions Circle.

In addition to Premier Truck Group, the charity golf tournament was supported by K&M Elevators and Fleetguard.

“We’re incredibly grateful to our race fans and partners for their continued support of our mission,” said Speedway Children’s Charities Texas Chapter Executive Director Marissa Chaney. “It’s heartwarming to see such generosity, which will make a meaningful impact on the lives of children in need across North Texas.”
