BROOKLYN, Mich. (May 20, 2015) — Michigan International Speedway continues to bring fans closer to the action and provide unique experiences for the guests.
Fans attending the Quicken Loans 400 in June and the Pure Michigan 400 in August will have the opportunity to purchase a Driver Introduction Pass.
Now is your chance to stand on the frontstretch during the pageantry and excitement of driver introductions for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races.
“No sport allows the access to its athletes like a NASCAR racetrack does,” MIS President Roger Curtis said. “It’s a thrill to stand on the track while NASCAR’s top drivers are introduced. Just the pre-race experience in general is unique to auto racing.”
NASCAR provides fans the closest access in all of professional sports. On any race weekend fans have the opportunity to walk pit road before the race, attend special autograph sessions or watch as drivers prepare for the race.
Race days have always been a memorable experience full of non-stop activities. Now is your turn to add to the excitement with a Driver Introduction Pass. You will be so close to the drivers as they are introduced to the crowd you might be able to get a high five.
Fans can add a Driver Introduction pass to their Pit and Paddock Pass and daily admission order by calling 800-354-1010. Or you can purchase the Driver Intro and Pit and Paddock Pass package at www.mispeedway.com.
You can experience pit road up close, sign the start/finish line, take your photo with the trophy on race morning and view the cars and race teams during pre-race preparations. A Pit and Paddock Pass is your best opportunity to try and get your favorite driver’s autograph.
The paddock is in the infield area, just behind the garages and pit roads. It’s where kids can go and get pretty close to pit road and their favorite drivers.
The track hosts the first of two NASCAR weekends June 12-14 with the Corrigan Oil 200 ARCA Racing Series on Friday, June 12, NASCAR XFINITY Series on Saturday, June 13 and the Quicken Loans 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series on Sunday, June 14.
The Sprint Cup Series will wind up its summertime stint at MIS on Sunday, August 16 with the Pure Michigan 400. The Camping World Truck Series Careers for Veterans 200 presented by The Cooper Standard Foundation and Brad Keselowski’s Checkered Flag Foundation is on Saturday, August 15.
The track continues to keep ticket prices low this year. Race fans who purchase early will have the best prices and the best seats. Tickets for a NASCAR Sprint Cup race start at $52, with children 12 and under free and junior pricing 16 and under in certain sections, ensuring families a chance to see NASCAR at affordable prices.
