Ticket packages on sale for upcoming NAPA 500

With less than three months left until the new NAPA 500 weekend Oct. 25-27 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, there are three ways to see three great days of racing action. And as the last 88 days count down, the Atlanta Motor Speedway ticket office has extended its hours to accommodate the rush.

From now until race weekend Oct. 25-27, the ticket office will be open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Saturday hours will be 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday hours will be 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Ticket manager Frances Goss said she has three suggestions for fans to see three days of racing action during the new NAPA 500 weekend:

Race fans can buy tickets starting at just $30, for the action-packed race on Sunday, making it one of the most affordable tickets in all of Winston Cup.

The $60 Super Ticket is a two-day ticket package that includes one ticket to both Saturday's Busch Series Aaron's 312 and Sunday's Winston Cup NAPA 500. Saturday's ticket is good for a general admission seat in the East Turn grandstands and Sunday's ticket is for a reserved seat in the Weaver grandstand section, rows 14-18.

Lastly, for just $125 fans have a chance to be inside the coveted pit area, in the heart of the racing activity. Pre-race pit passes are good for Sunday morning until 45 minutes prior to event time (12:15 p.m.). As an added bonus, fans will also be allowed in the pit area for a limited time on Saturday morning.

Fans must be at least 14 years old to be admitted into the pit area. Pre-race pit passes are not good for gate admittance and must be accompanied by a grandstand ticket.

For more information about tickets and packages, call the ticket office at 770-946-4211.
