Race to GED: ARCA/REMAX 200 live
On Saturday, June 26, the #04 RACE to GED Pontiac was seen live and nationwide in the ARCA/REMAX 200 from South Boston Speedway. The race was broadcast live from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on the Speed Channel, a cable television channel dedicated to racing. This was a wonderful piece of marketing for our initiative.
Peyton Sellers, the car's driver, made his ARCA debut in the REMAX 200. Please join us in thanking Peyton for doing such a great job of promoting the Race to GED. Continue below to view pictures of the car, Peyton, and Stacey Wright taken at the press conference held Thursday, June 17.
