KANSAS CITY (July 1, 2026) — Kansas Speedway today announced that Race to Stop Suicide, a nationally recognized nonprofit organization dedicated to suicide prevention and mental health awareness, will serve as the entitlement partner for the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series playoff race on Saturday, Sept. 26. The event will be known as the RaceToStopSuicide.com.
The RaceToStopSuicide.com 200 will be part of an action-packed NASCAR Playoffs weekend at Kansas Speedway and provide a powerful platform to raise awareness about mental health, encourage meaningful conversations, and connect individuals and families with life-saving resources.
The announcement comes on the heels of Mental Health Awareness Month in May and reinforces the shared commitment of Kansas Speedway and Race to Stop Suicide to foster open dialogue surrounding mental health and suicide prevention.
Kansas Speedway is proud to partner with Race to Stop Suicide to bring greater visibility to an issue that impacts communities across our nation. Motorsports have a unique ability to bring people together, and we’re honored to use one of our biggest race weekends of the year to help amplify a message of hope, support and awareness.
Pat Warren — President, Kansas Speedway
Founded in 2018, Race to Stop Suicide utilizes the platform of professional motorsports to educate communities, reduce stigma and promote suicide prevention resources.
Through partnerships across NASCAR and beyond, the organization works to normalize conversations around mental health, provide education on warning signs and risk factors, and encourage people to check in on those who may be struggling.
The nonprofit was co-founded by Daniel and Randy Dye and has become one of the most visible mental health advocacy initiatives in motorsports.
“We believe awareness leads to action, and action saves lives. Partnering with Kansas Speedway for the RaceToStopSuicide.com allows us to bring this message to one of the biggest stages in motorsports and reach fans across the country with the reminder that hope is available and help is within reach.”
