(ALGER)— Skagit Speedway owner Steve Beitler had a couple of major announcements last night during the 39th annual Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup.

Beitler says NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Kasey Kahne will be returning to Skagit Speedway for a special 360 race Friday night, August 27th, with all proceeds raised benefiting Kasey’s foundation, which supports under privileged kids in need.

Beitler later told the crowd that in honor of next year’s 40th anniversary of Dirt Cup, the 40-lap Race of Champions will pay out $40-thousand dollars to the winner.
