The National Sprint Car Hall Of Fame and Museum is making progress gathering funds for a planned expansion project.

Executive Director Bob Baker explains to KNIA/KRLS News that “Expand The Dream” is looking to raise $1.9 million dollars, in part, to build a new storage building for the museum.

Baker says they’ve raised about $1.2 million dollars for the project already. He says they’re hoping to earn more funds by applying for a CAT grant through Vision Iowa and holding fundraisers in the local area and across the country.
