One of stock car racing’s most popular exhibition races is back, and for the first time, it’s on iRacing! Motor Racing Outreach’s Better Half Dash, which pits some of NASCAR’s most prominent female figures against one another on the track to raise money for charity, returns as a virtual event from Texas Motor Speedway. The action airs tonight, June 10, at 6PM ET on FS1 as part of a special edition of NASCAR Race Hub.
The Better Half Dash has raised over $350,000 benefitting Motor Racing Outreach and 50 other non-profit organizations since its first running in 2011. For seven years, the event ran at Charlotte Motor Speedway as a part of NASCAR race weekends, utilizing bandolero cars on that track’s quarter-mile Legends oval. Its most recent real-world running came in October 2017, where Jennifer Self, wife of NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver Austin Wayne Self, beat Tammy Rice, wife of Kaulig Racing president Chris Rice, for the checkered flag.
