DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Jan. 25, 2011) –  NASCAR drivers aren’t in the business of folding, so the year’s first NASCAR Foundation fundraiser might pose a challenge.

The NASCAR Foundation Chairwoman Betty Jane France and foundation board member Rusty Wallace will host NASCAR’s finest during the heart of Speedweeks for “High Speed Hold ’Em on the Halifax” on Feb. 22 from 7-10 p.m. at the new clubhouse of MG on the Halifax.

This unique event will pit drivers, celebrities, poker pros and one lucky fan against each other in a Pro-Am Texas Hold ’Em Style Poker Tournament with proceeds benefiting The NASCAR Foundation and Speediatrics. MG on the Halifax, the luxury waterfront community just minutes from Daytona International Speedway, is partnering with The NASCAR Foundation to host the inaugural “High Speed Hold ‘Em on the Halifax.”

“What a great night this is going to be … a lot of fun and all for some worthy causes,” said The NASCAR Foundation Chairwoman Betty Jane France. “The NASCAR Foundation, Speediatrics and poker – I love them all. People who know me can attest to that. This evening is going to be memorable and meaningful. I can’t wait.”  Full Story
