The largest 50/50 raffle prize of the year was awarded at this past Friday's O'Reilly Auto Parts Friday Night Drags & Show-N-Shine. Brenda Smith of Hampton, Ga., won $1,738, which was half of a proceeds of the money from raffle tickets sold on Friday. 

The other half of the proceeds, as they are each week, are donated back toward area organizations which help those in need within Henry County.

50/50 raffle tickets are $1, but fans may purchase more if they wish. This week's winner of the raffle prize, for example, spent $5 on tickets and came home with the biggest cash payout of the year. 

Raffle tickets may be bought at each week's O'Reilly Auto Parts Friday Night Drags from Speedway Children's Charities volunteers or at the SCC tent just inside the Gate 15 entrance.
