There will be many of the families that Leap of Love helps at the track that afternoon playing games, meeting the drivers as they arrive. “Most of these families have never attended a dirt track race before. They are so excited to not only be there, but to have the opportunity to greet the drivers.” For more information about Leaps of Love or the Crate Car Raffle, call 618-410-7212 or go to their website at www.leapsoflove.org or contact Traci Riechmann at traci@leapsoflove.org.
