The Dale Earnhardt Foundation Celebrity Poker Event

The Stratosphere Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada will host the first ever Dale Earnhardt Foundation Celebrity poker tournament on February 25th, 2010.

Kerry Earnhardt, the eldest son of NASCAR racing legend and seven time champion Dale Earnhardt, will host the poker tournament while nationwide driver and television personality Kenny Wallace will serve as the Master of Ceremonies.

Already confirmed to participate in the tournament are former Dale Earnhardt race team crew head Kirk Shelmerdine and NASCAR drivers Aric Almirola, Casey Mears, Regan Smith, Matt Crafton, Todd Bodine, Eric McClure, Scott Lagasse Jr., Mike Bliss, Danny Efland and Andy Ponstein.

The Dale Earnhardt Foundation's goal is to continue the legacy of Earnhardt through non-profit programs and financial grants that support his commitment to education, children and environmental preservation.

NASCAR and poker enthusiasts can help the foundation by paying the $150 buy-in for the tournament giving them an opportunity to play with their favorite NASCAR drivers, collect their autographs and win cash prizes and valuable NASCAR merchandise.

The champion will receive $2,500 in cash, a Dale Earnhardt souvenir merchandise and a one year VIP account with the online racing game iRacing.com. Advance tickets are available to watch the poker tournament and get NASCAR driver autographs for a $20 donation to the foundation.
