| Third Annual "Race for Kids Sake" is Set for January 14, 2002 | Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Volusia County and
WESH TV have announced the third annual "Race
for Kids Sake" will be Monday, January 14, 2002
at New Smyrna Speedway in Samsula, Florida. Set
to appear this year for the annual event from
NASCAR are Kyle Petty, Mark Martin, John Andretti,
Johnny Benson, Buckshot Jones, Robin Pemberton,
Hut Stricklin, Ray Everham and Casey Attwood.
Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Volusia County use
the event to help fund the many functions they
do for the community's children. Their mission
is simple, "they try to put a friend into a
child's life and put hope in their future."
Many of the children are fatherless and mother-
less some even both but with caring, loving
guidance from the Big Brothers/Big Sisters,
they get the adult love and care that children
need to grow into responsible adulthood.
 On the program for that night, besides the Winston
Cup stars who will race local Late Models, will
be Super Stocks, Mini-Stocks and Strictly Stocks.
There will be no purse money as all money for the
night is donated to Big Brothers/Big Sisters of
Volusia County. But it is a night for all to
come out and shine and help these children. The
driver and one crew member will get in free this
night to help support the event.
Grandstand gates will open at 5 P.M. with racing
at 7 P.M. Advance tickets, which can be bought
at Speedway Dodge and SunTrust Banks, are $15.00
or $20.00 at the gate. Children 12 and under are
free. After the NASCAR race, there will be an
autograph session with all the stars.
