Donate to a food drive, take a lap around Michigan Speedway
Here’s a donation drive that will get the attention of NASCAR fans in southeast Michigan:
Michigan International Speedway has announced that fans can take their personal vehicles around the race track for free in exchange for participating in a toy drive and food drive.
A snippet from MIS’s announcement:
Michigan International Speedway is collecting goods to benefit two local charities by hosting a lap around the racetrack from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4, weather dependent. Guests may take one lap in their personal automobiles around the historic two-mile oval in exchange for a new, unwrapped toy or bag of food that will be donated to Toys for Tots in Jackson, Mich., and the Food Pantry, in Brooklyn, Mich., respectively.
The last public track drive at MIS was in 2005, so this is a rare treat. All the details are at mispeedway.com.

Have fun! My husband would love to participate, but the time slot is during his normal work shift so he’s pretty much out of the loop. I did already schedule Dec. 4 as one of my days off, but I need that time for Christmas baking and errands.
