Tickets will be $15. Saturday will begin with NASCAR practice at 9:30 a.m., followed by qualifying at 11 a.m. The Georgia Boot 400 will begin at 1 p.m. and will be followed by the Winston Cup Series Happy Hour.

Sunday will begin with pre-race activities, beginning at 9:30 a.m. Driver introductions will begin at noon and the race will start at 12:30 p.m. The race will consist of 325 laps and though Dale Jarrett has already captured the Winston Cup series title, the race is sure to an exciting one. There are a limited amount of tickets left for Sunday's race, priced at $60 and $90. Tickets can be purchased at the Atlanta Motor Speedway box office or a Ticketmaster outlet.
