AMS Offers $65 Three-Day Ticket for March 18-20 Golden Corral 500 Weekend
Wednesday, February 9 2005
With nearly 24 hours of on-track activity scheduled for the March 18-20 Golden Corral 500 weekend, fans can see an entire weekend of thrilling racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway for a little over $2 an hour. It’s one of the best deals in all of racing…a three-day ticket package that starts at just $65, less than fans would pay for a Sunday-only ticket at most tracks.
The three-day thriller ticket gives fans access to the entire weekend, which will pack four events into three days.
The weekend will start off with Georgia Power Qualifying Night, the fastest qualifying session in NASCAR. Night qualifying has been such a popular event during the fall race weekends that Atlanta Motor Speedway added night qualifying to this newly ramped-up spring race weekend as well.
Following the excitement of night qualifying will be the World Financial Group 200, the first of two appearances in Atlanta for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series this season.
The weekend continues on Saturday with the Aaron’s 312, which features the Busch Series drivers battling in a race that features the drama of 12 extra miles.
But the fun won’t end until after Sunday’s crown jewel, the Golden Corral 500 NEXTEL Cup race. |
