WAYNESFIELD — The spotlight moves to Sunday night this weekend at Waynesfield Raceway Park for the 33rd annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek presented by Cometic Gasket featuring the UNOH All Star Circuit of Champions.
Waynesfield marks the third stop on a weeklong tour of racing through the state of Ohio.
The Performance Powder Coating AMSA Mini Sprints join the All Stars for a Sunday edition of racing. Pit side gates will open at 3 p.m., grandstands open at 4 p.m., hot laps get underway at 5 p.m. with the first green flag flying at 6 p.m. Adult general admission is $22. Admission for those 11 to 15 years old is $11 with everyone under the age of 10 admitted free. Pit passes are available for $35.
Beforehand there will be a charity event to support children’s cancer research. The Kick-It organization was founded in 1999 by a 10-year-old cancer patient who had a dream to raise money to further research on childhood cancer. In 2012, Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation joined forces with Kick-It to accelerate finding a cure. In the past three years, $675,000 has been raised by the dirt track racing community around the world. Waynesfield’s Kick-It event includes a silent auction, giveaways, and a kickball tournament to help raise money for continued cancer research. Registration for the kickball game opens at 11:45 a.m. with the first pitch following at 12:30 p.m. The tournament will feature drivers from Waynesfield and the All Stars, race fans, staff members and event organizers. The silent auction will begin at 4 p.m. just inside the main entry gate. All money raised during the event will be donated to the Kick-It organization and the Jeff Gordon Foundation. More information on Kick-It can be found at kick-it.org.
