September 8, 2015 Myrtle Beach, SC- The Championship Auto Racing Series (CARS) based in Mooresville, NC has teamed up with the Boys and Girls Club of the Grand Strand for the inaugural Fairways and Straightaways Golf Classic to be held at the Hackler Course at Coastal Carolina University on September 17th. The Fairways and Straightaways Golf Classic will consist of drivers, teams, sponsors and officials that are in the area for the CARS Tour www.bakerdist.com 200 to be held at Myrtle Beach Speedway on September 19th. Proceeds from this charity golf tournament and the fundraising events held at Myrtle Beach Speedway on the 19th will directly benefit the Boys and Girls Club of the Grand Strand.
“We understand our role as a series is to not only put on a great show for the fans at Myrtle Beach Speedway but to give back to the community we race in. The Fairways and Straightaways Golf Classic will be a great opportunity for our teams, officials and fans to enjoy an afternoon at the beautiful Hackler Course while raising money for the Boys and Girls Club of the Grand Strand. Hopefully, the competition won’t be as fierce on the course as what we will see at Myrtle Beach Speedway Saturday night.” stated Jack McNelly, owner of Championship Auto Racing Series (CARS).
About the CARS Tour
Formed in the fall of 2014 by owner Jack McNelly, the CARS Tour was built out of the remnants of the former Pro Cup Series. The CARS sanctioning body, continuing a desire to create a viable option for quality pavement racing throughout the Carolinas and beyond, formed the dual division CARS Tour. Featuring both super late models and late model stock cars competing on the same night at the same track, the CARS Tour is the first series of its kind to host two premier divisions under the same banner, at the same track and as part of the same event. On September 19th at 7 PM the CARS Tour will present the www.bakerdist.com 200 featuring 100 green flag laps for both the Late Model Stocks and Super Late Models. This will be the ninth race of the inaugural ten race season for the CARS Tour. General admission tickets are $20 with children aged 7-12 priced at $10.
