Mid Ohio Sports Car Course announced a 3 year partnership with Nationwide Insurance and Nationwide Children’s Hospital to bring NASCAR to the Buckeye state for the first time. The Event will be called the “Nationwide Children’s Hospital 200″ and is set for august 16th and 17th 2013.
“The NASCAR Nationwide Series coming to Mid-Ohio is a major addition for the track, our region and the state of Ohio. We’ve always been dedicated to putting a dynamic schedule together each year for our fans and being able to work with NASCAR on securing a Nationwide event truly gives us one of the most powerful schedules in road racing,” said Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course President Craig Rust. “To make this event even more special is our partnering with a company like Nationwide Insurance that has heavy racing involvement and has been a strong community supporter both in Ohio and nationally for almost a century. Helping to shine a bright light on the work that Nationwide Children’s Hospital does is something in which we’re very proud to be involved.” “We thank Nationwide, Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and NASCAR for bringing this premier sporting event to central Ohio and for choosing to highlight the hospital as part of it. We look forward to welcoming NASCAR fans to this event and working with our partners to raise funds and awareness for pediatric care and research.” Steve Allen said.
