NASCAR Returns to zMAX Dragway for NASCAR Night during Bank of America 500

NASCAR Returns to zMAX Dragway for NASCAR Night during Bank of America 500
Week

       CONCORD, N.C. (Oct. 8, 2010) – Some of the fastest drivers, car
owners and mechanics ever to turn left will give it their all to go straight
on Tuesday, Oct. 12, as NASCAR Night returns to zMAX Dragway.
       In past NASCAR Night events, more than 100 NASCAR industry personnel
have descended on the Bellagio of drag strips to take their cars down the
concrete quarter-mile. Participants can race anything they wish down the
drag strip, making this a true “run what you brung” event. Previous NASCAR
Night drag racers included NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers Kurt Busch, Kyle
Busch, Greg Biffle and Matt Kenseth; team owner Rick Hendrick; and crew
chiefs Chad Knaus and Lance McGrew.
       “The first NASCAR Night they hosted at zMAX Dragway a couple of
years ago, I told my guys, ‘We’re going to take something that nobody can
beat,'” said Busch, who will compete on Tuesday night. “It’s a lot of fun to
go to one of the best drag strips in the world, right here in our own
backyard, and do some good old fashion, heads-up grudge racing against some
of the guys you compete against in the garage every weekend.
       “We’ll bring our ’70 Dodge Challenger that we raced with at the NHRA
Gatornationals in Gainesville (Fla.) and PINKS All Out at Charlotte earlier
in the year. We’ve put a lot of time and effort into that car and with the
cooler track temperature and night air on Tuesday, we should be able to run
in the low eights (seconds) if we can get it to stick.”
 NASCAR Night is open to the public with gates opening at 4:30 p.m. On-track
action is set for 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Fans can show a ticket to the upcoming
Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Oct. 16 and receive free
admission. Adult tickets are available at the gate for just $5 and kids are
free. All proceeds from ticket sales will go to Speedway Children’s
Charities.
       Tickets for all October races at Charlotte Motor Speedway can be
purchased online at www.charlottemotorspeedway.com or by calling the
speedway ticket office at 1-800-455-FANS (3267). The Bank of America Fan 4
Pack includes tickets, hot dogs and Coca-Cola drinks starting at just $39.75
per person or fans can get four nights of great racing with the Bank of
America 500 Week Super Ticket for just $99.

Dollar General 300 Tickets Available for Just $7 with Danica Deal on Oct. 7

       CONCORD, N.C. (Oct. 5, 2010) – To mark Danica Patrick’s return to
Charlotte Motor Speedway, fans will get a one-day-only opportunity to
purchase tickets at a significantly reduced price to the Dollar General 300
NASCAR Nationwide Series race on Oct. 15, in which she will compete.
       Through the Danica Deal at Charlotte Motor Speedway, fans can
purchase Dollar General 300 tickets for only $7 on Thursday, Oct. 7. Patrick
will drive the No. 7 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet in the Nationwide Series race on
Oct. 15 at 8:00 p.m.
Only 700 tickets will be available at this special price, so fans are
encouraged to call 1-800-455-FANS (3267) or go online early on Oct. 7 to
receive the discount.
       In addition, fans who have already purchased tickets to the Bank of
America 500 on Oct. 16 can get the special $7 Danica Deal Dollar General 300
pricing during a one-day pre-sale on Oct. 6. Fans with Bank of America 500
tickets should call the ticket office at 1-800-455-FANS (3267) to receive
the Danica Deal discount.
       Indy Racing League driver Patrick has been in the NASCAR spotlight
this season as she competes in select Nationwide Series events for team
owner Dale Earnhardt Jr., including the Dollar General 300 at Charlotte
Motor Speedway during Bank of America 500 Week.
       Patrick began racing go-karts at age 10 and she won several World
Karting Association regional and national championships over a seven-year
period. While the Dollar General 300 will be her first appearance on the
1.5-mile oval at Charlotte Motor Speedway, she raced karts at the track
during the very early stages of her career.
       “I remember going down the back straightaway where Turns 3 and 4 are
on the main track and pretending I was racing cars out there on the track,”
Patrick said. “I took a ride there in a two-seat race car with the Petty
Driving Experience where you pay money and get to ride in the passenger’s
seat. I also remember walking the track one time and thinking, ‘Oh my gosh,
the banking is so steep you can barely walk on it.’ So I have a lot of
memories from Charlotte. That includes everything from visiting a slot car
track where we would hang out as kids to the (North Carolina) red clay.”
       Patrick and the other 42 Dollar General 300 competitors will battle
under the lights Friday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway in what will be
the final 2010 “preview” race for the new-generation Nationwide Series race
car. The new cars more closely resemble the street versions of the four
competing models and will be fully implemented for the 2011 season.
       Tickets for all October races at Charlotte Motor Speedway can be
purchased online at www.charlottemotorspeedway.com or by calling the
speedway ticket office at 1-800-455-FANS (3267). The Bank of America Fan 4
Pack includes tickets, hot dogs and Coca-Cola drinks starting at just $39.75
per person or fans can get four nights of great racing with the Bank of
America 500 Week Super Ticket for just $99.
