🚨 Attention Drivers & Teams – Pole Position Details 🚨

We want EVERYONE on the same page with how the Pole Position will be awarded at The 4th Annual Upstate Chevy Dealers Autism Acceptance Race at Albany-Saratoga Speedway 🏁

👉 Here’s how it works:

All drivers who were registered & paid by Friday, August 29th are eligible. (That’s 44 drivers this year!)

At the Pole Award Table (in the Autism Area on the grass), fans, teams, and supporters can make blind donations in the name of their favorite driver.

Donations will be accepted until 6:30 PM.

Around 7:00 PM, after all donations are counted, the driver who brought in the most charitable donations will be announced as the Pole Sitter.

💡 Important Notes:

ALL donations go directly to autism charities ❤️Racers For Autism, Bring On The Spectrum, and The Autism Society Greater Hudson Region, NY

The winning driver does not have to run heats (if they choose not to).

All drivers will still run Hot Laps/Time Trials prior to the Pole Award announcement.

This process is subject to change if needed.

✅ Full list of eligible drivers & car numbers is posted below.
