‘Talladega Nights’ charity supercar road trip heads to Tralee on June 13
A convoy of over 100 high-performance supercars will arrive in Tralee on June 13 as Neil Armstrong Way on the edge of the town park is set to host the finish line of Talladega Nights’ Road Trip.
The organisers of the Bumblebee 1000 Supercar charity road run have announced their new event, the ‘Talladega Nights’ Road Trip, scheduled for June 13-15.
The three-day trip begins in Dublin on Friday, June 13.
The convoy will make its way through Kildare, Tipperary, and Limerick before reaching its Day One finish line at the Neil Armstrong Way in Tralee.
The supercars are expected to arrive in Tralee at 4 pm on Friday, marking the end of the first leg of the journey.
Newly crowned Kerry Rose Laura Daly and Mayor of Tralee Mikey Sheehy will be on hand to meet the drivers on their arrival into Tralee where a spectacular show is promised.
Participants will then travel to Killarney for their overnight stay at the Hotel Europe.
All money raised from the ‘Talladega Nights’ Road Trip will go to Little Blue Heroes. This charity is run by An Garda Síochána and provides support for sick children. To date, Bumblebee 1000 has raised over €608,649 for this charity.
On Saturday, June 14, the convoy will traverse the Ring of Kerry, with a fuel stop in Caherciveen and lunch in Sneem, before arriving at the Lewis Road Car Park in Killarney Town.
Sunday, June 15, will see the cars depart from the Europe Hotel in Killarney, heading through County Cork before finishing in Portlaoise.
The event is made possible with support from the Tralee Municipal District Office, Kerry County Council, Tralee Chamber Alliance, Kerry Motor Coub and Mikey Sheehy, Mayor of Tralee.
