🎄 Draggin' for Toys Brings Holiday Racing and Charity to Ringgold, Georgia

Brainerd Motorsports Park is turning the dragstrip into a holiday fundraiser this November, combining competitive racing with community giving. The event reflects a growing trend across the region where motorsports venues use their platforms to support local charitable causes during the season.

🏁 Racing with Purpose on November 15th

Brainerd Motorsports Park will host “Draggin’ for Toys” on Sunday, November 15th, with all proceeds benefiting Catoosa County Stockings Full of Love. Gates open at 11 a.m., and racing begins at 1 p.m. at the facility located at 745 Scruggs Road in Ringgold, Georgia. 🎁

The event welcomes racers across multiple classes, including Super Pro, No Box, Juniors, Outlaw Small Tire, Small Tire 5.30, ET Motorcycles, True Street Hard Tire, and Open Comp divisions. Entry to race is $60, spectators are $20, and children 10 and under enter free-making it accessible for families who want to support the cause while enjoying the racing action. ✨

🎨 The Christmas Tree Race: A Festive Twist

One of the day’s highlights is the Christmas Tree Race, where participants decorate their vehicles with Christmas trees and compete for awards in two categories: best-decorated tree and fastest finish with the tree attached. Organizers ask that decorations avoid glass or shatter-type materials to keep the event safe. 🚗

📍 How to Get Involved

Toy donations are accepted at the event. Racers interested in competing or spectators wanting to attend can contact Steven Farrow at 423-421-2710 or Amy Farrow at 423-802-1443 for more information. Those wishing to sponsor the event can also reach out to Amy to discuss how proceeds will support Catoosa County Stockings Full of Love. 💚

The event comes the day after the 4.40/Big Dog Brawl, giving the racing community back-to-back weekends of competition and charitable opportunity as the season heads into the holidays.
