SHREWSBURY, Mass. — A team sponsored by Advantage Truck Group (ATG) and Robert B. Our won first place at the 24th edition of the Seaside Le Mans – The Race for the Cape Cod Community in Mashpee, Mass.
The Sept. 6 event raised $300,000 for five Cape Cod non-profit organizations.
“Nearly 100 drivers got behind the wheel of Formula One-style race karts to compete on a quarter-mile outdoor track throughout Mashpee Commons,” ATG said. “The race was won by a team of drivers from the Mashpee Police and Fire Departments in seats donated by Advantage Truck Group and Robert B. Our.”
ATG is well-known for its charity efforts.
Seaside Le Mans – The Race for the Cape Cod Community
The inaugural running of the Seaside Le Mans – The Race for the Cape Cod Community, took place in 2001, just four days after the terrorist attacks of September 11. DeWitt Davenport, CEO of The Davenport Companies, and founder of the Seaside Le Mans, said that first race helped provide a rallying call for Cape Cod to stand strong in times of adversity.
Close to $10 million has been collected and distributed in the two decades since the race’s inception. Since 2015, Advantage Truck Group has participated in the charitable event and sponsored a team of first responders.
