Infineon Raceway Takes to the Drag Strip for 7th annual Food Drive SONOMA, Calif. (Oct. 25, 2007) — Infineon Raceway will take its pledge to help feed those in need this holiday season to its world-famous quarter-mile drag strip for the 7th annual Thanksgiving Food Drive. The raceway has hosted an extremely popular and successful grass-roots drag racing program since 1989, and the program will serve as the focal point of this year’s food drive. Infineon Raceway will take its call for non-perishable food items to the year’s final round of California Army National Guard Wednesday Night Drags on Wednesday, Nov. 7. As a one-time special offer, any person who brings at least four non-perishable food items that night will receive a $10 voucher towards one Wednesday Night Drags admission in 2008. In addition, the raceway will look to expand the reach of this year’s drive by donating the collected food to two community organizations: Friends in Sonoma Helping (FISH) in Sonoma and the Napa Valley Food Bank. Mary’s Pizza Shack and Destination RKA will once again partner with the raceway on this event. The raceway and its partners have generated more than 9,000 pounds of non-perishable food items since the inception of the drive in 2000, and expectations are high for 2007. To kick-off the food drive, representatives from FISH and the Napa Valley Food Bank will square off in an exciting drag-race competition on Nov. 7. The winning organization will receive a gift card compliments of Lucky grocery stores. The public is also encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to the raceway during regular business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.) from Nov. 1 Nov. 16. The raceway is located at 29355 Arnold Dr., Sonoma, CA 95476 (800-870-RACE or www.infineonraceway.com for directions). Those who cannot make the trip to Infineon Raceway can still participate in the food drive. Satellite drop-off locations will be located at: · Any of the 10 North Bay Mary’s Pizza Shack locations.
