Published: October 6, 2008 07:20 pm EDT

Chester Downs will host its second annual Drivers' Challenge on Sunday afternoon, with eight of North America's top drivers taking part for a share of $60,000 in prize money.

The participating drivers will be donating their five-percent commissions to Operation Warm, an organization that provides underprivileged children nationwide with winter coats.

Chester Downs' leading driver Tim Tetrick headlines the Challenge, along with perennial Meadows driving champion Dave Palone. Dan Dube, Eric Goodell, Yannick Gingras, Cat Manzi, David Miller and George Napolitano, Jr. round out the Challenge field.

Drivers will be assigned to their horses by lot, but each driver will have the opportunity to select one horse to drive in the eight-race Challenge. The Pennsylvania Harness Horsemen's Association sponsors the Challenge.
