Throughout the race week, Sept. 30-Oct. 4, fans can show their support by participating in a raffle.

Tickets can be purchased at the Polaris display booth at Charlotte Motor Speedway. All proceeds from the raffle will be donated to Speedway Children's Charities.

"We are really pleased that Polaris and Rick Mast are helping further our cause," said Gen. Tom Sadler, executive director of Speedway Children's Charities.
