In a special grant distribution ceremony Wednesday, Speedway Children’s Charities (SCC) announced that the nonprofit’s Charlotte Motor Speedway chapter distributed $300,000 in grants to 30 deserving charities located throughout the Charlotte region. The Kevin Harvick Foundation supported SCC’s efforts this year with a $50,000 donation toward the $300,000 total.
More than 250 children were joined by Santa Claus, who arrived by helicopter while his sleigh readies for Christmas night, and Lug Nut, the world’s fastest mascot, for the grant distribution at the Speedway Christmas presented by Count On Me NC drive-through light show. Following a drive-in movie style program in the gigantic Speedway TV, Santa and Lug Nut led all guests on a socially distant 3.75-mile drive through more than 4 million Christmas lights.
