Samsula, Fla (January 5, 2004) Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Volusia County and the Victory Junction Gang Camp will have their fifth annual racing event on January 13 at New Smyrna Speedway in the Race for Kids Sake Charity race.

Big Brothers/Big Sisters is a non -profit community service organization dedicated to providing adult friendships to children who need positive role models and mentors. "Mentors at Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Volusia County help single parent children by giving them emotional support and guidance to become mature, responsible adults," said Randy Dye, one of the founders of the local charity event.

"This year we have included the Victory Junction Gang Camp in our fundraising and hope to raise a good donation for it. Kyle Petty, NASCAR driver and co-founder of the Victory Junction Gang Camp, will be one of our featured drivers January 13th. Kyle will have a special painted local Late Model for this race," Dye added.

Victory Junction Gang Camp will give chronically ill children a chance to experience some happiness and care-free days. Many of NASCAR finest have chosen Victory Junction Gang Camp as their favorite charity including John Andretti, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Dale Jarrett, Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth, Bobby Labonte, Terry Labonte, Steve Park, Ken Schrader, Tony Stewart and Michael Waltrip.

NASCAR drivers scheduled for this event are Kyle Petty, Bobby Labonte, Ken Schrader, John Andretti, Scott Riggs, Steve Park and Mr. Benny Parson in the pressbox. There is also a possibility that Terry Labonte and Mike Skinner may also show.

Four local divisions will also be on the program - Sportsman, Super Stock, Strictly Stock and the new Thunder Roadsters division. The driver and three crew members will be admitted free to help support this event. "We expect a large turnout and these guys always put on a great show for the fans," said Dye.

Racing will begin at 7 P.M. with the NASCAR autograph session from 7:15 to 8:30. At 9 P.M. the feature race for the NASCAR drivers will be run in local Late Models.

Pre-sale tickets are available at Daytona Auto Mall in Daytona Beach and Gator Action Tire Stores in Orlando for $15.00. Tickets will be $20.00 at the gate. Grandstands open at 6 P.M.
