Carolyn’s Race - The Sequel!
June 3, 2023 - What an AMAZING 2 days at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta celebrating the life of our friend Carolyn Johnson with an amazing group of people! We continue to be amazed at the generosity and hard work of the racers who take part in our Racing for ALS events and are part of the team; this event raised over $72,000 that will go towards our Triple Target Funding Program, which is 45% - $32,581.80 to ALS TDI, 30% - $21,721.20 to Duke Health, and 25% - $18,101.00 to our Patient Assistance Funds, and brought us less than 70k away from $1,000,000. So again to EVERY racer and EVERY spectator who took part in Carolyn's Race 2, THANK YOU!!!! And if you want to join us for our Burpee-A-Thon on June 9th with Gunn's Fitness, LLC, for Dave's Race 5 at VIR on June 30 & July 1st, or Stewart's Race at Barber Motorsports Park on September 30 and October 1st, then check out the events listed at the top of this page.

Thank Yous - We have strived hard from our first Dave's Race event at Virginia International Raceway in 2019 to put on the best events possible, and have worked to improve every time. This event was the culmination of our entire team's work since that first race to continue improving, and this race was hands down the best one yet operationally. So again, thank you to the entire Racing for ALS team.
