The Broome County Animal Care Council will host the 5th Annual Daytona 500 Action & Auction this Sunday at the Elks Lodge in Kirkwood beginning at 12 PM.
This year's Grand Marshal is Jim Zacharias, who along with family and friends will celebrate his 81st birthday. Zacharias is the winningest driver in the history of Owego's Shangri-la Speedway.
Aarons, America's most recognized rent-to-own company, and Budweiser, the official beer of race fans everywhere, have sponsored all five Daytona 500 parties, which help to support the efforts of the Broome County Animal Care Council and their volunteers.
Two giant screens provided by Aarons will be among the seven televisions showing the Fox 40 broadcast of The Great American Race plus action from a variety of local speedways. Budweiser is the unanimous beverage of choice, and local distributor Rocco J Testani Inc is supporting the benefit with a variety of donations. The all afternoon buffet will include a variety of pizza, meatballs, sausage, salads, desserts, and other goodies with coffee & soda included. Legal beverages will be available at the cash bar, and beer lovers can purchase a Budweiser beer wristband for $10.00 and enjoy iced cold Bud from noon until 4 PM. A huge selection of auction items and racing memorabilia will be on display, with silent and Chinese auctions taking place throughout the afternoon. Live auctions will be limited to avoid interruption of the racing action.
