Dave’s Race 5th Gen
June 30 & July 1, 2023
Virginia International Raceway
We will have an air-conditioned hospitality tent this year!!
What Dave’s Race 5th Gen will Support
Since our race against ALS began when Dave was diagnosed in 2017, we have learned a lot about ALS and the needs of the ALS community. Therefore, this year all of our events, like Vince’s Race, will support 3 different ways to help the ALS community. All 3 of these were chosen specifically by Dave from his research and experiences. They are the ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI), Duke Neurology ALS Clinic, and our Patient Assistance & Van Program. Learn more about each of these and how we support them HERE!
Event Notes
ON-TRACK Track Day/Event, drivers will have the opportunity to experience the course once chosen as one of Car and Driver Magazine’s top six road courses Virginia International Raceway. ·The Uphill Esses and sharp elevation changes not only make it a fan and driver favorite but have also established it as a prominent testing facility for the automotive industry.
OFF-TRACK: All participants will be provided with a fun evening of BBQ, silent/live auction and entertainment (see schedule).

Raised $49,470.00 - Although our second HPDE at Virginia International Raceway in June of 2020 was greatly impacted by COVID, thanks again to a lot of great people helping us and the generosity of the racing community, this event also did a lot to benefit ALS-TDI.
Raised $105,456 - The 3rd running of our Dave's Race HPDEs at Virginia International Raceway in 2021 again highlighted the generosity of the racing community by setting a new fund-raising record to benefit ALS-TDI and generated a lot of awareness for ALS. Thanks to all who helped!
Raised $220,000 - Our ALS Warriors withstood the heat and brought the fundraising fire to this year’s Dave’s Race 4 presented by Carolina’s Home Medical Equipment! This incredible group of racers were able to band together to raise over $220,000 for ALS TDI research to #EndALS!
