National Speed Sport News & Racing Against Cancer(TM) Form Partnership

HARRISBURG, N.C., June 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Racing Against Cancer(TM) and America's Motorsports Authority, National Speed Sport News, are partnering this summer to raise funds for the American Cancer Society.

RAC raises money for the ACS as well as David's House, a residence for cancer patient's families in Dartmouth, N.H., and the Tomorrow Fund, which provides financial and emotional support for children who have cancer in Providence, R.I.

National Speed Sport News, through its Grass Roots Tour, will collect money for RAC, while auctioning off special racing memorabilia such as autographed helmets and collector's items. The auctions will be administered by www.GoMotorBids.com(TM), which has helped National Speed Sport News raise money for charity in the past.
