NASCAR Party goes on in spite of Race Delay

Even though NASCAR officials opted to delay both the Daytona 500 and the Xfinity Series opener after rain washed out the scheduled races on Sunday, the party at Msgr. Kromenaker Council 2251 in St Clair was still a great time with great food!
 
The council has been hosting this race for several years, helping to raise funds to support seminarians and several other causes. Rain or shine, they are already planning to host this event again on Sunday, February 16, 2025. Come on over and join them!
 
Pictured are the council PGK’s and honored guests.
