“WALK A LAP WITH LANDON” FOR FLOOD RELIEF THIS FRIDAY NIGHT AT HAWKEYE DOWNS SPEEDWAY !

Race fans will get a unique opportunity this Friday night as NASCAR Nationwide Series Driver Landon Cassil returns “home” to Hawkeye Downs to raise money for area flood relief and to race with the Late Models.

Fans can make a donation to flood relief and then “Walk a Lap with Landon” around the Hawkeye Downs half-mile. Donations will be taken under the flagstand as part of the Friday night race program.

Donations will also be supplemented by Hendrick Motorsports and possibly other NASCAR drivers as word spreads of this fund-raising effort.

Cassill has raced in one form or another since age three, racing everything from quads, to go karts, to midgets, to modifieds, and finally late models. He currently pilots the #5 National Guard Chevrolet for JR Motorsports in partnership with Hendrick Motorsports in the NASCAR Nationwide Series.

Landon will drive a McGrath Powersports prepared late model Friday night and will compete against current point leader Steve Carlson and the rest of the late model division.
