25^th Annual Race Fever Dinner and Auction – October 29, 2010

TALLADEGA, AL. – This year marks 25 years that the racing community and AIDB have partnered in what has become Talladega’s Ultimate Party with a Purpose – Race Fever!  Race fans from across the country and Canada converge on the SPEED Channel Dome at the International Motorsports Hall of Fame on Friday evening of the fall race weekend.  That’s right, if you are planning to attend the 2010 AMP Energy Event Weekend at Talladega Superspeedway October 29-Oct 31, 2010, have we got another HOT ticket for you!

Race Fever began in 1986, when former NASCAR Chairman, the late Bill France, Jr. organized the first event to benefit children and adults served by AIDB.  This event has come a long way since its beginnings on the football field at the Alabama School for the Deaf and Blind raising $12,000.  Through the continued support and coordination between the racing community, AIDB and Talladega Superspeedway, Race Fever has grown steadily and in 25 years has raised close to $3.0 million for AIDB Foundation, the designated charity of Talladega Superspeedway.

Your ticket includes admission to the event, an all-you-can-eat barbecue feast, the chance to meet dozens of NASCAR drivers, and an opportunity to bid on remarkable race memorabilia, vacation packages and other items donated by businesses and friends of AIDB. Event tickets are $50 or gather a group of friends a reserve a table for 8 for $350.  Sponsorships are also available!
