It's for a good cause, and a good time.

 

TOOELE VALLEY, UTAH —

 

Based on the success of last year’s inaugural event, Miller Motorsports Park is bringing back the “Drive Away Hunger” charity event benefiting the Utah Food Bank on Saturday, November 7.

 

“Drive Away Hunger” allows fans who always wanted to drive their street cars on a world-class racetrack a chance to do just that, and help families in need at the same time.

 

Fans who bring non-perishable food items will be allowed to drive three laps around MMP’s 4.5-mile full course behind a pace car between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Passengers will be allowed, but all passengers must wear a seat belt. Additional track time, in three-lap increments, will be available for a cash donation of $20. All proceeds will benefit the Utah Food Bank.

 

“We are happy to bring the ‘Drive Away Hunger’ program back for a second year,” said John Larson, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Miller Motorsports Park. “We had such a great response to, and such good feedback from, last year’s event that it looks like we may have a tradition on our hands. With the holidays approaching, this is a great chance for everyone – no matter if they drive a Volkswagen, pickup truck, SUV or Porsche – to simultaneously satisfy their need for speed and our need to feed!”

 

“We are experiencing an unprecedented number of emergency food requests and, sadly, we don’t see that trend reversing anytime soon,” said Jim Pugh, executive director of Utah Food Bank. “We feel fortunate, however, that we have such a generous community that responds to our requests for donations. Drive Away Hunger is an incredible example of a win-win method to help those most vulnerable in our community.”
