Elliott hosting short-track event
Bill Elliott began his racing career three decades ago at Dixie Speedway in Woodstock, Ga., and he'll be back there Saturday night for a short-track race on the dirt with some famous friends there to help him.
Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne, Ken Schrader, Dave Blaney, David Gilliland and Ray Evernham are all scheduled to be at the Bill Elliott 50 Red Dirt Dash. A 50-lap shootout paying $5,000 to win for regional Super Late Model racers follows the celebrity event.
The race starts at 7:30 p.m. Advance tickets can be purchased for $30 for adults and $15 children ages 7 to 17 by calling the track at (770) 926-5315. Adult tickets at the gate are $35 and pit passes are $40 adult and $20 children 11 and under.
Elliott and the other celebrities will sign autographs in a private session at 6 p.m. Vouchers for that session are $30 and will go on sale at the gate at 3 p.m. Proceeds from the race and the autograph session will benefit Children's Healthcare of Atlanta for cancer research and care.
Dixie Speedway is just north of Atlanta along Georgia 92. Visit dixiespeedway.com or billelliott.com for more information.
Elliott's 1988 Cup Series championship team also will be honored in ceremonies prior to Sunday's Pep Boys 500 at Atlanta Motor Speeedway.
