Speedway Children's Charities could fill the grandstands at Texas Motor Speedway 14 times with the number of children we have helped since 1997. Our reach is far and the dollars we raise go directly to help children in our community. Children's organizations in Collin, Dallas, Denton and Tarrant counties are eligible to apply for the Speedway Children's Charities annual Founders and Partner Grants.
