DRIVE FOR HUNGER NIGHT AT BIG DIAMOND SPEEDWAY THIS FRIDAY 5/27 !!

 Big Diamond Speedway has designated May 27 as Michael Weinert Drive For Hunger Night presented by SIFE, and encourages race fans and community members to bring nonperishable food donations to the raceway.

Weinert, teamed up with the University of Pittsburgh SIFE (Students In Free Enterprise) team to lead a campaign to tackle hunger issues in Pennsylvania. The SIFE team is spreading word of Weinert’s campaign and organizing food drives throughout the state. Weinert also has arranged food collection stations throughout Schuylkill County, including Ken’s Tire, Pioneer Pole Buildings, Sisters’ Cantina, Kimmels Church and more.

“I’ve been given the opportunity to pursue my dream to become a race car driver and have been fortunate never to worry about having enough to eat,” says Weinert, who was named Big Diamond Speedway 358-Modified Rookie of the Year last season. “But some people are hungry every day, even right here in our community. I want to make a difference for those who are less fortunate.”
