Richmond International Raceway will serve as a prime location for fans wishing to purchase NASCAR Day pins now through May 18, the date for NASCAR Day 2007. Donations will be accepted at the ticket office, located at 600 E. Laburnum Avenue. Additionally, there will be several locations throughout the midway during the upcoming NASCAR weekend at Richmond International Raceway, May 4-5.

Proceeds from NASCAR Day 2007 pins sold at Richmond International Raceway will benefit Special Olympics of Virginia and The NASCAR Foundation. NASCAR fans, corporations, schools and organizations across the country are encouraged to donate $5 and all participants receive a collectible NASCAR Day 2007 lapel pin for their donation.

"Richmond International Raceway is happy to once again accept donations for NASCAR Day," said track president Doug Fritz. "We are extremely happy to know that fifty percent of the donations at Richmond International Raceway will benefit Special Olympics of Virginia, an organization based right here in Richmond. I know I'll be wearing my NASCAR Day pin on May 18, and I hope our fans will do the same."

On May 18, the date for NASCAR Day 2007, fans are encouraged to wear their NASCAR Day lapel pin along with their favorite NASCAR gear.

NASCAR Day, an annual, charitable celebration of the spirit of NASCAR fans, last year raised more than $1.3 million for the NASCAR Foundation, which supports a wide range of charitable initiatives that reflect the core values of the NASCAR Family.
