Autism Speaks 400


On Sunday, May 16th, tune in for the annual NASCAR Autism Speaks 400! The Autism Speaks 400 race, presented by Hershey's Milk & Milkshakes, is an annual race that takes place at the Dover Speedway in Delaware. It is part of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and seeks to increase awareness and funds for autism. During the race, Dover International Speedway will feature Autism Speaks' puzzle piece logo on the track's retaining walls, special signage and on limited-edition souvenir merchandise.

In a January press release, Mark Roithmayr, president of Autism Speaks, said of the event: "Autism Speaks is honored to again work with Dover International Speedway, and now Hershey's Milk & Milkshakes, to raise awareness and funds for our cause...We can't wait for the green flag at Dover on May 16."
