Rick Crawford (High Sierra Photo) Rick Crawford will join Ken Schrader for his annual All-Star charity event at I-55 Raceway in Pevely, Missouri. On August the 2nd, drivers from NASCAR's big three Series will Schrader for the M & M's Night of Stars that benefit multiple charities including the Victory Junction Gang Camp. Crawford will join fellow NASCAR drivers, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Matt Kenseth, Rusty Wallace, Kenny Wallace, Brendan Gaughan and David Reutimann at the 3/8-mile Missouri dirt track for the annual M&M's Night of Stars charity event. "I had an opportunity to participate in this event several years ago and had a blast." Crawford said. "It was the first time I had ever raced anything on dirt. It reminded me of some the dirt roads back home in Mobile. I guess some of those power slides in South Alabama must have paid off because we won the thing the last time I was here. What Kenny has been able to build and the people he is able to help are pretty incredible. I hope my schedule works out where I can come every year." Drivers are scheduled to participate in an autograph session at the track from 5-7 p.m. CT. The green flag falls on racing at I-55 Raceway at 7:30 p.m. The celebrity Dirt Modified Shootout will precede the night's feature event - winged Sprint cars and UMP Late Models. Reserved tickets for the 'Night of Stars' event are on sale now. Reserved tickets are $30. Fans can purchase tickets by calling the track at 636-479-3219. General admission tickets, which will be available the day of the event, are $25. For more information on the 'M&M's Night of Stars,' visit www.i55raceway.com.
