Few things excite children like a race car and from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, at Hays Chevrolet, 2917 Vine St., children will get the opportunity to explore a race car as part of an event promoting RPM speedway and the Boy Scouts of America.

Steve Richardson, who is making the car available, drives the number 0 wing sprint car in races across the area.

“I got approached by the Boy Scouts of America to bring the race car out before the race tomorrow at RPM, let the kids interact with the race car a little bit,” Richardson said.

While the event is new this year, the hope is to stage other events in the future as the Sprints Car series returns to the area.

“This is our first year doing it, but we have plans to do it next year,” Richardson said.

Along with the car and promotional giveaways, including shirts and tickets to the Saturday race, members of the Boy Scouts will be on site to help build an interest in the local troop.

Scouts that attend will also be given tickets to the race.
