Terre Haute Casino holds Sprint Car meet and greet
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV)— The Terre Haute Casino is revving up the excitement before the big race, at the legendary Terre Haute Action Track.
Tuesday evening, the casino hosted a Sprint Car Racing meet and greet event. Those who attended got to meet the stars of the Sprint Car world with an insider Q and A, photo ops, and giveaways. Attendees also got the chance to receive a discount voucher for the upcoming race.
Sprint Car Driver Charles Davis Jr. said he has been racing since he was a kid.
'Just a family thing and I've been doing it for quite awhile too. I was working the year of 93, so that was a little while ago. And still love it everyday,' Charles Davis Jr. said.
'We're just trying to keep things going. Not as many races as we use to do, but we're getting our feet wet and learning, and that's what we're here for,' Assistant Director Brad Anderson said.
The race will be held tomorrow, and tickets can be purchased on the Vigo County Fair's website.
