NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver Mike Skinner and his wife, Angie, will partner with Toyota to host the second annual "Toyota Tundra Skinner Round Up" Sept. 27-28 in Daytona Beach, Fla.
Due to the success of last year's fundraiser for Daytona Beach-area organizations, the Skinners have expanded the event to two days, and this year's event promises to be equally successful.
Festivities kick off 7 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 27 with the "Hoe Down Bash" at Daytona International Speedway's Boardwalk Pavilion. In the event of rain, the Hoe Down Bash will move to the NASCAR Busch Series garage area. Skinner will sign autographs for fans from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., and his No. 5 Bill Davis Racing Toyota Tundra will be on display. Guests will also enjoy displays from Daytona Toyota and EZGO Golf Cars, live and silent auctions, numerous fundraising activities and live music from Big Engine of Jacksonville, Fla. Guests can also tempt their taste buds at the "Taste of Daytona Alley," in which Daytona's finest restaurants will sample their fare.
Tickets are $25 per person and will be available at the gate. There is no dress code, but guests are invited to join in the Western theme.
Friday's events include the star-studded Golf and Poker Tournaments. Celebrities will hit the links at Spruce Creek Country Club, and then place their bets at the Celebrity Poker Table. After last year's all-or-nothing showdown between driver Steve Park and NASCAR's Jim Hunter, the Poker Tournament should be something to watch - literally, as SPEED Channel will film the tournament.
Participating celebrities include recording artists Edwin McCain, Stacy Mitchhart, Eddie Money and Bo Bice (also of American Idol); NASCAR drivers Ron Hornaday, Rick Crawford and Steve Park; NHRA drivers Matt Smith and Scott Kelley; NASCAR's Betty Jane France and World Series of Poker Champion Brian Wilson.
The Skinners personally organize and run this annual event, which benefits Daytona Beach-area charities including the Council on Aging: Meals on Wheels, Second Chance Animal Rescue, Safe Kids Coalition and Greyhound Pets of America. Last year's Skinner Round Up raised more than $104,000, and the goal is $125,000 this year.
To help the Skinners achieve their goal, they will accept any donations. Donations are tax deductible, and checks can be made out to "HMC Foundation."
