CRAWFORD JOINS SCHRADER’S ANNUAL ‘NIGHT OF STARS’

Rick Crawford, driver of the Circle Bar/Power Stroke Diesel by International Ford F-150 will join Kenny Schrader on the dirt at I-55 Raceway for the fifth “M&M’s”® Night Of Stars charity race in Pevely, Mo., on Wednesday, July 25.

Crawford will slide on the dirt for charity with NASCAR NEXTEL Cup regulars Dave Blaney, Clint Bowyer, Carl Edwards, David Gilliland, Kevin Harvick, David Reutimann, and Kenny Wallace; NASCAR Busch Series drivers Marcos Ambrose, Steven Leicht, Jason Leffler and Mike Wallace; and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series veterans Brendan Gaughan and Ron Hornaday, Jr. SPEED announcer and former NASCAR driver Phil Parsons will also participate.

This year, the celebrity drivers will compete in Dirt Modifieds in heat races as well as a feature race. The All-Star event will benefit a variety of racing charities selected by the drivers.

“I had never driven on dirt until I came to this event 3 years ago. I won my first night out and I make sure to stay on Schrader’s good side so he’ll keep inviting me back,” said Crawford. “The people are incredible and it all goes to great causes, I hope the fans will stop in at Pevely on their way to Indy.”
