Dan Wheldon Memorial Karting Challenge

 

It times like this when we wish we lived a little bit (like 500 miles) closer to Indiana.

This Saturday at New Castle Motorsports Park is the

inaugural Dan Wheldon Memorial Karting Challenge. 

It's a two hour race to benefit Alzheimers

and will feature lots of our favorite Indycar and Indy Lights drivers.

 

James Hinchcliffe, Ed Carpenter, Tristan Vautier, Sage Karam, Zach Veach and many others will be participating. 

(Oh yes, Josef will be there too so Alex really, really wants to go.)

Also, some of Dan Wheldon's family will be competing.
 

 

The race is part of the 10th annual RoboPong 200 race weekend (Dan Wheldon won the race in 2005).

Sunday's '200' race will feature several additional drivers such as Will Power and Simona De Silvestro.

 

The best part.

Both races are free and will offer a ton of great racing.
