Bangor, ME — Hollywood Casino, Hotel & Raceway is proud to sponsor the Fireball Run on Saturday (Sept. 29) with a 2:30 p.m. post time.

This is a cross country road rally starting in Georgia with a checker flag ending at Bangor Historic Track where the 40 contestants will compete in a final challenge of picking a winning horse and driver from that day’s live racing card.

The Fireball Run is also a fundraiser for the Race to Recover America’s Missing Children Charity, which supports efforts to find and return missing children to their families. Team members are required to post fliers and other information in the communities they visit.

Bangor Raceway will hold a blanket race that day in remembrance of Ayla Reynolds, a missing 2-year-old from Maine.

Cars involved in the race can be anything from Corvettes to Bentleys and Ferraris to SUVs. The race also usually showcases famous vehicles such as the Batmobile or the DeLorean from the movie “Back to the Future.”
