Ozarks-area racing fans once again can combine a night at Lucas Oil Speedway with helping those in need on Saturday night.

The Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series resumes with Ozarks Food Harvest Food Drive Night Presented by OzarksFirst.com. Fans who bring four non-perishable food items will get free Admission to the races. The O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars will be featured with a 25-lap, $750-to-win feature.

“This is one of our more gratifying nights of the season as we partner with Ozarks Food Harvest,” Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. “Race fans are known for their generosity and this is our way of thanking them, for helping those in need, with a free night of racing.”

Last year fans donated 3,143 pounds of food that was enough to provide 2,619 nutritious meals to neighbors who struggle with hunger in the Ozarks Food Harvest's 28-county service area. Since 2008, Lucas Oil Speedway has collected more than 74,000 pounds of food to help provide more than 60,000 meals for Ozarks Food Harvest and their hunger-relief partner Hickory County Cares.

"We're honored to partner with Ozarks Food Harvest and it's always gratifying to see our fans rise to the occasion to help in such an important cause," Lorton said.

Food items can be dropped off after gates open at 5 p.m. Hot laps begin at 6:30 and racing at 7:05.
