The Welch Nissan Powder Puff Race ‘Benefiting Cancer Research’ will be held Saturday, May 10th.  The Powder Puff Race is for ladies only.  All regular classes are scheduled to race as well.  This event is being held to raise money for the Susan G Komen foundation and to provide a scholarship to a UAM student majoring in pre-med. 

Each of the racers will raise money by selling $10 raffle tickets for a chance to win $500 in gas donated by ARKAT Nutrition Inc of Dumas.  All ticket sales will be turned in by May 3rd.  The driver that raises the most donations in each class will be rewarded by starting their heat race in the pole position on May 10th.

As well as the raffle tickets sales, donations are being taken up for the Welch Nissan Powder Puff T-Shirts.  For a $30 donation, Monticello Speedway will list a name of someone special that has fought a battle with cancer on the back of the shirts. The names may be of anyone that has fought any kind of cancer.  Proceeds from the t-shirt donations will be presented to the Bradley County Breast Cancer Survivors and Friends, servicing all of Southeast Arkansas.

Awards will be presented at the race track May 10th at 7pm following hot laps.

For more information or to make a donation, you may contact Michelle Chapman at 870-308-2941.
