About The Bulldog 100
The BullDog 100 Mini NASCAR® Race was established in 2005 as the annual fundraiser for the College’s Rising Star program. An event that was over two years in the making, our first three races have been huge successes, with an amazing 64 race teams, over 1500 participants, close to 10,000 spectators, and more than $100,000 raised for scholarships!
The Rising Star Scholarship is a full tuition and fee scholarship for academic or vocational classes for the freshman and sophomore years. Applicants must be current high school graduates and have a family taxable income of $75,000 or less. Application deadline is August 1st following high school graduation. First year recipients must maintain full-time status and a minimum GPA of 2.0. Rising Star students who complete their freshman year with a cumulative GPA of 2.75 and full-time status are eligible for second year funding.
The BullDog 100 brings together teams from local, area and regional businesses, industries, community leaders and various civic groups to race miniature NASCAR®-style cars through a twisting, turning ½ mile course, running through the heart of the Texarkana College campus. Funds raised from this event will go 100% to the College’s Rising Star Scholarship Fund. The event offers scrumptious festival-type foods, games, contests, and of course, plenty of mini NASCAR® racing action!
The 2008 BullDog 100 will be even bigger, better and more exciting than ever with an all new layout, returning champions, new vendors, and a weekend of fun activities for the whole family. But we know why you’re really coming-to see who wins the coveted Checkered Flag!
