Remember September 11th at the Speedway

« Back to Blog

August 20, 2010

September 11, 2001 is a day most Americans will remember forever. It’s been nine years since that fateful day and many are choosing to honor those that lost their lives in the 9/11 attacks by giving life to others. 

On Saturday, September 11, 2010 Florida’s Blood Centers is teaming up with the Daytona International Speedway for a 12 hour blood drive. From 8am to 8pm NASCAR fans will have the opportunity to save lives and see how the new race track is coming along. Daytona is the birth place of racing and the historical new pavement is currently being set in place. In fact, the Daytona International Speedway is actually giving away a piece of the old track to five lucky people who pre-register for the blood drive. (Pre-register HERE )

On September 11th racetracks across the country will hold blood drives and compete with one another to see which track can collect the most units of blood. Last year Florida’s Blood Centers and the Daytona International Speedway came in second place and this year we are striving for first. To take us to the home stretch the Daytona International Speedway has a couple of great incentives.   Not only will pre-registrants have a chance to win a historic piece of asphalt, but all donors will receive a free commemorative t-shirt and a ticket to the Subway Jalapeno 250! 

Of course, this is a competition, so if we have 500 donors then everyone is entered in a drawing for a chance to win a Daytona 500 package including two Daytona 500 Club tickets to the 2011 Daytona 500. If we hit a record 900 registered donors then another donor will win Daytona 500 Club tickets to the Coke Zero 400.

Help us set the record across the country! Remember September 11th by getting on the Big Red Bus at the Daytona International Speedway. Save lives and be a part of NASCAR history. Watch Video
