Dan Wheldon Memorial Grand Prix at Pole Position Raceway

The
entire racing community was sadden by the tragic death of Dan Wheldon
at the Las Vegas 300 IndyCar race on Oct. 16. This hit all of us at Pole
Position Raceway very hard since Wheldon was competing in a car owned
by Sam Schmidt, one of the many professional racers behind the Pole
Position Raceway chain of indoor kart tracks. Wheldon was also at our
Vegas track just days before the accident to participate in a fundraiser
to support Graham Rahal's Race For Research project. To honor the
two-time Indianapolis 500 winner,



Pole Position Raceway is hosting the
Dan Wheldon Memorial Grand Prix on Nov. 6 at 11:00am at all six of our
tracks, and it's open to the public. Cost for this event is $60 per
racer, and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Wheldon
family to assist with the education of their two young children. The
Grand Prix format features a practice, timed qualifier, and a
head-to-head main event. Advanced registration is recommended and can be
