Delaware dirt racing is heading to the national stage with a meaningful message. Georgetown Speedway and Camp Barnes are proud to announce a partnership with BRK Racing and NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Garrett Smithley to bring awareness to one of Delaware\u2019s most impactful youth programs during the BetRivers 200 at Dover Motor Speedway on Saturday, July 19, 2025.<\/p>\n
Smithley will carry the Georgetown Speedway and Camp Barnes logos aboard his No. 14 Chevrolet Camaro, as the team uses this national platform to highlight the upcoming Camp Barnes Benefit Stock Car Race, scheduled for Thursday, July 31 at Georgetown Speedway.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to collaborate with BRK Racing and Garrett Smithley on this national stage to spotlight a cause that means so much to our community,\u201d said Ken Adams and Jim Parker, co-owners of Georgetown Speedway, in a joint statement. \u201cThe Camp Barnes Benefit Race is a cornerstone of our season, and this partnership helps amplify its mission and the positive impact it has on families across Delaware.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Camp Barnes Benefit Stock Car Race is a long-standing annual event that raises funds for Camp Barnes, a free summer camp operated by the Delaware State Police for children ages 10\u201313. Located near Bethany Beach and in operation since 1947, Camp Barnes serves more than 600 kids each year, offering week-long camp experiences that include archery, fishing, swimming, arts & crafts, nature walks, and more \u2014 all while building positive relationships between youth and law enforcement.<\/p>\n
Detective Jeff Hudson, Director of Camp Barnes, expressed his excitement about the new collaboration. \u201cThe camp is honored and thrilled to be represented on a national stage like the NASCAR Xfinity Series,\u201d Hudson said. \u201cThis opportunity helps us reach people who may not know what Camp Barnes is or how it\u2019s changing lives. We\u2019re grateful to Garrett, BRK Racing, and Georgetown Speedway for helping us tell that story.\u201d<\/p>\n
Garrett Smithley, a veteran of more than 150 Xfinity Series starts, is no stranger to short tracks and grassroots racing.<\/p>\n
\u201cRacing has always been about community for me,\u201d said Smithley. \u201cSo to represent Georgetown Speedway and help support Camp Barnes \u2014 a place doing real good for kids \u2014 is something I take seriously. I\u2019m proud to carry their logos and mission on the No. 14 car at Dover.\u201d<\/p>\n
The BetRivers 200 will be broadcast live on The CW, bringing the message and the mission of Camp Barnes to a nationwide audience from right here in Delaware.<\/p>\n
