Southern rock legends the Charlie Daniels Band will headline the Champion’s Dinner Presented by ACLJ.org to kick off the Eighth Annual Waltrip Brothers’ Charity Championship (WBCC) on Oct. 18 in Franklin, Tenn.
The CBD will open off the two-day fundraiser benefitting Speedway Children’s Charities, Motor Racing Outreach (MRO) and The Journey Home Project. In just seven years, the WBCC has raised $2.5 million for various charities.
“Charlie Daniels is an inspiration to all who know him,” Darrell Waltrip said. “His tireless work in the music business is, at the young age of 80, second to none. However, perhaps more important to his fans and me is the fact he is not afraid to stand up for what he believes in.
