To
return to some of the “grassroots” elements that have made NASCAR so popular
among motorsports fans; Nashville Superspeedway will debut this new fan
initiative at the NASCAR Nationwide Series race on Saturday, April 11.
“All
Access will provide race fans with a pre race opportunity to access areas of
the infield that have been restricted in the past; all of which was once common
place in the sport of NASCAR,” Nashville Superspeedway Vice President &
General Manager Cliff Hawks said. “I feel very strongly that the Nationwide
Series and the Camping World Series need new elements that will elevate
interest and help each series reconnect with fans.”
All
Access features:
· Pre race Garage access* that will give race fans
the opportunity to see garage and pit road activities on race day before the
race begins.
(*NASCAR will enforce a dress code
for GARAGE ACCESS. No open toed shoes, shorts or sleeveless shirts are
allowed. You will be required to sign a
waiver before entering the garage area. Individuals under the age of 18 will be required to sign a waiver.)
· Access to the NASCAR Driver’s Meeting
· Front Stretch track access with cars staged, in
qualifying order, on the front stretch for fans to have their picture made with
their favorite cars.
· Pre race driver introductions will include
drivers being introduced while they walk down through the grandstands and on to
the track.
· Drivers will get into their cars on the front
stretch and await the “gentlemen start your engines” command. Engines
will start on the front stretch with pace laps to follow.
The
All Access initiative presents a new opportunity for fans to enjoy even more
accessibility , and will allow more access to parts of the racing facility that
have been “off limits” in the past. Hawks worked directly with NASCAR
officials to implement the new “ALL ACCESS” concept.
“All
of these new elements are designed to give fans even more opportunity to
connect with the sport and more value for their dollar,” Hawks said.
Nashville
Superspeedway will host three (3) major NASCAR events including April’s NASCAR
Nationwide Series race; the Federated Auto Parts 300 NASCAR Nationwide Series
race June 5-6, and the Toyota Tundra 200 NASCAR Camping World Series race July
31-August 1.

All
Access
Pass
is included in the 2009 Season Tickets for only $ 149. Single-event ticket
