Take a ride and wave the flag at CMS

   Speedway Children’s Charities will provide lucky race fans with the opportunity to ride in the parade lap prior to Saturday night's Bank of America 500 through an online auction. The fans with the winning bid will take a parade lap around Charlotte Motor Speedway with their favorite NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver and help support children in the Charlotte region.

   Through Wednesday (Oct. 10), fans can visit www.sccauctions.com to bid on this once-in-a-lifetime experience. All auction winners will receive a VIP tour of the Charlotte Motor Speedway infield and a guided tour through the Sprint Cup Series garage. Each winning bidder is allowed to bring one guest.

   Fans who want to feel the thrill of Sprint Cup Series racing from the flag stand can do so on Bojangles’ Pole Night with a $100 donation to Speedway Chidlren’s Charities. With the donation, fans will wave the green flag for one driver as he begins his qualifying run on Thursday night. Contact Lisa Starnes at (704) 455-4426 to reserve a spot in the flag stand.
