Ennis, TX --- The Texas Motorplex is racing to reward the Ennis and Waxahachie Boys & Girls Clubs this Sunday, August 8. The Ennis track will host a benefit race where proceeds from the racing entries and a major raffle will all be donated evenly to the Ennis and Waxahachie Boys & Girls Clubs. " We recognize the positive impact the Boys & Girls Clubs have on the children of our community. Our goal is to continue to be good citizens and maximize our opportunities to give back. Our business is racing, but we feel that we should also give back when an opportunity presents itself. The Inaugural Boys & Girls Club Charity race is just that kind of opportunity and event," said Ryan Haas, Texas Motorplex general manager. In addition to the racing program on Sunday, the Texas Motorplex and the Boys & Girls Clubs are selling $2 raffle tickets to help raise money. All proceeds from the raffle sales will go directly to the Ennis and Waxahachie Boys & Girls Clubs. Prizes include a NHRA racer apparel from John Force, Eddie Hill, Gary Densham, Fuji 35MM camera, a trip for two to Casino Magic in Shreveport, Texas Rangers game tickets, free admission to drive an 8.0 second dragster during the Roy Hill Drag Racing School, and many more. Tickets can be purchased at either Club or at the Texas Motorplex. Winners will not have to be present to win and corporations are encouraged to buy tickets. All donations are tax deductible. Gates will open at 8 a.m. on Sunday, time trials will begin at 9:30 a.m., and eliminations will begin at 1:30 p.m. Raffle drawings will be conducted throughout the day on Sunday, August 8.
