QuikTrip, one of the nation’s premier convenience and gasoline marketers, will host a Pit Party for fans on Saturday, Jan. 26 at a Norcross QT store to kick off the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 race weekend in February.
QT’s Pit Party will feature a variety of family-friendly activities and entertainment throughout the day.
