This weekend, Peterborough Speedway also welcomes an Autism Awareness Night, Kid’s Race was started in 2010 as an idea to create a new platform for Autism
research and awareness. It wasn’t too long after speaking with – and working alongside track owners, officials, drivers, crews and fans – that a common bond was formed. Everyone associated with the event quickly realized that passion, dedication, family and a love for what they do is something that everyone shared.
“Our drivers, teams, crew members, sponsors and fans are quick to throw their support behind a worthwhile cause,” said track owner and promoter J.P. Josiasse said. “Even if a member of your immediate family hasn’t been affected by autism, you probably know someone who has. Whatever you can do to help the Canadian National Autism Foundation is a win-win for everyone involved,”
