NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver and defending champion Brad Keselowski will kick off this special event, which will give fans the unique opportunity to walk the one-mile, concrete oval shortly after the NASCAR Nationwide Series race, all while raising money for a good cause.

Registration costs $20 for adults and $10 for children ages 14 and younger.  Interested participants can register in advance by visiting NASCAR.com/foundation. There will also be an opportunity for on-site registration at The NASCAR Foundation Hauler in the FanZone, just outside Turn 4, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, May 31 and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 1.

Keselowski will kick the event off at approximately 5:30 p.m. on the Monster Monument, presented by AAA, in Victory Plaza with an introduction that will include a free question-and-answer session for fans. A representative from Autism Speaks and The NASCAR Foundation will then address the crowd, and participants will proceed into the track for the walk.

This marks the seventh straight year that Dover International Speedway is teaming up with Autism Speaks, the world’s leading autism science and advocacy organization, for its spring race weekend. FedEx has again partnered with Autism Speaks at Dover for the June 2 “FedEx 400 benefiting Autism Speaks” NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race.
