“Drive Toward a Cure Day“
NCM Motorsports Park
April 1, 2022
2022 UPDATE
The tornado that ravaged Western Kentucky left severe damage in its path, including at NCM Motorsports Park. Thankfully, NCM has finally been able to confirm that our 2022 event will be a “Go!” Though every building on site was damaged, the track surface itself is unscathed and we’re excited to get back on track!
April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month
The month of April is Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Month, and we’re seeking friends nationwide to help us spread awareness and raise much needed funds to Drive Toward a Cure for Parkinson’s Disease. Funds raised support PD research and patient care.
A Day of Unlimited Touring Lapping
Track season is back on Friday, April 1, 2022 with NCM Motorsports Park’s “Drive Toward a Cure Day”!
All marques are welcome, convertibles are welcome, and there is no helmet requirement. Participants drive their own car in a lead-follow format for over 4 laps at a time on the 3.2-mile road course above highway speeds. The pace of lead cars will be matched to the cars and drivers in the group to ensure that the driving is spirited and the day is exciting while maintaining a safe environment that allows for passengers! We accommodate a group maximum of 5 cars per touring group.
Reservations are highly recommended. Very limited walk-in spaces will be available.
NCM has set the cost for our 2022 event at $350 per vehicle, to be in line with other similar events. The fee includes:
- Lunch for the driver. (Lunches for guests are $20 pp.)
- A $100 tax-deductible* donation supporting Parkinson’s Disease research and patient care.
- Unlimited lapping. Passengers are welcome — see below for info.
- Drive Toward a Cure pin and window sticker.
A portion of our fundraising from the NCM Motorsports Park Drive Toward a Cure Day will benefit the Movement Disorders Clinic at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, a Parkinson’s Foundation Center of Excellence.
