Greg and Nan Zipadelli are spearheading the Charity ride. Greg Zipadelli is the crew chief for the 2002 Winston Cup Championship Home Depot Pontiac team, driven by Tony Stewart.

After breakfast, the riders will head out for their ride. After the day on the trails, it will be time to relax at dinner, with a live band on hand to provide dancing. A silent auction will go on after the ride as well.
Proceeds from the ride will go to a variety of children charities. The three charities that were chosen for the ride are Victory Junction Gang, Todd Beamer Foundation, and the Children's Miracle Network.
