Summit Motorsports Park, a cornerstone of American drag racing and motorsports, is proud to announce the official launch of its new charitable initiative: Race For Hope. This non-profit organization is dedicated to leveraging the vast energy, resources, and community spirit of motorsports to generate significant support and funds for various critical causes.
Race For Hope will operate under the mission statement:
“Let us harness the passion, speed, and devotion of the motorsports community to fuel hope, drive progress, and accelerate positive change for those in need… to secure a legacy far beyond the finish line.”
Summit Motorsports Park President Bill Bader, Jr. stated, “The motorsports community is defined by its intensity, precision, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. With Race For Hope, we are taking that same drive and directing it toward building a better future. Our legacy won’t just be measured in elapsed times and championships, but in the positive change we spark in people’s lives.”
This charity will focus on creating unique and engaging fundraising events that tie directly into the motorsports world, including:
Charity Races and Exhibitions: Hosting special events at Summit Motorsports Park where a portion, or all, of the proceeds benefit families in need.
Driver & Team Partnerships: Collaborating with professional drivers, teams, and industry sponsors to raise awareness and donations.
Community Outreach Programs: Engaging local schools, hospitals, and non-profits to bring the excitement of motorsports to those who might not otherwise experience it.
Initial fundraising efforts will begin this holiday season. Ten percent of all 2026 tickets sold from Wednesday, November 26 thru Sunday, December 21 will go toward making a brighter Christmas for families in the Norwalk, Ohio area.
Bader added, ” We are building a powerful philanthropic engine. We invite every fan, racer, crew member, and sponsor to join us in this mission. Together, we will accelerate hope.”
