Kansas Speedway and Red Cross Team Up for Blood Drive

KANSAS CITY, KAN – Kansas Speedway and the American Red Cross have partnered for a Sept. 8 blood drive in Kansas Speedway’s media center. The drive will be from 1 PM – 7 PM.

“We look forward to working with the American Red Cross on this blood drive,” said Kansas Speedway President Jeff Boerger. “This is our third annual blood drive and we’ve been very happy with the turnout of donors each year and expect to have another great crowd this year.”

To keep with the racing theme, donors will make “pit stops” throughout their “race” at Kansas Speedway. The first pit stop will be at the registration desk. Stop two will include a member of the American Red Cross staff taking the donor’s information and history. Stop three is the blood donation, while stop four will consist of post-blood donation snacks. The final stop is where donors will receive a t-shirt and goody bag.

After completing their “race”, donors can practice their winning celebration in Victory Lane.
