May Raceweeks in the Charlotte region of North Carolina is a busy time for everyone involved in racing in the heart of stock car country, but for BDI Racing it's with a great cause. In addition to his duties as NASCAR television commentator for SPEED, team owner Bob Dillner and his drivers will be busy raising money for charities and racing a variety of racecars around the region.

Dillner and the team will be teaming up with “The King,” Richard Petty, on Tuesday, May 19 th , for the “King's Cup – Karting for a Cause” event at The Pit in Mooresville, NC. The happening, which begins at 4:30pm, will feature a friendly 4-hour go-karting endurance competition to raise funds and awareness for Paralyzed Veterans of America. 7-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Richard Petty will act as Grand Marshal, while drivers AJ Allmendinger and Reed Sorenson will make special appearances. Dillner will host the event, while BDI drivers Michael Pope and Meghan Dillner mingle with the crowd.

“Richard Petty was a hero of mine while I was growing up, so I'm looking forward to meeting ‘The King,'” said Pope, who drives the team's Chevrolet in Super Late Model events throughout the country. “I am happy Bob and the team can help out with such a great cause because we can't forget those who fought for our country. They are the reason why I have the opportunity to race and

live a good life in the United States of America.”

Paralyzed Veterans of America helps thousands of paralyzed veterans through its 71 regional offices and 34 chapters across the United States.

Prior to that, Michael, Bob and his daughter Meghan will sign autographs to benefit the efforts of the Women's Auxiliary of Motorsports. The organization helps enrich the lives of women, children, and families through educational and wellness programs. WAM also aids former racers and their families who are in need of financial assistance.

The second annual NASCAR Speedpark event will run from 2:30pm till 7pm on Tuesday, May 19th, at its facility in the Concord Mills Mall in Concord, NC. Fans will be able to get autographs and speak with racing and television personalities, including NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver David Reutimann, Talladega Cup winner Brad Kesolowski and former Daytona 500 winner Geoff Bodine, among others. The Dillners and Michael Pope will sign autographs from 3:30 – 4:15pm alongside other drivers.

“I am honored to be part of the event that WAM is organizing because they do great things for families in our sport that need help,” said Meghan Dillner, who is a 15-year-old, third-generation racer. “I am not a NASCAR driver, but if I can help raise money for a great cause and get to interact with kids and other fans of racing, then I'm going to do all that I can do.”

BDI's MAC Tools Chevrolet will be on location at NASCAR Speedpark throughout the event. The Buffalo Wild Wings Super Late Model and Legends car will both be on display at BWW in Concord, North Carolina, (Exit 54 off I-85) in the Afton Ridge shopping center on Wednesday, May 20th, from 6pm – 9pm. Both Meghan Dillner and Michael Pope will be signing autographs for fans and collecting donations for the Jimmy Fund's “Rally Against Cancer.” So far BDI Racing has raised more than $1,000 for cancer research.

The Jimmy Fund is an official charity of the Boston Red Sox. For the past 56 years, Red Sox players and fans have supported the Jimmy Fund through gifts of time, money, and goodwill. Since its founding in 1947, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has been committed to providing cancer patients with the best treatment available today, while developing tomorrow's cures through cutting-edge research. The Jimmy Fund supports this fight against cancer in children and adults at Dana-Farber, helping to raise the chance of survival for cancer patients around the world.

That same night, Bob Dillner will serve as a pit reporter for RaceTalkRadio.com's live coverage of the UARA STARS Late Model Stock car series.
