DOVER, Del. – Continuing its initiative of making NASCAR events at the Monster Mile more family friendly and affordable, Dover International Speedway has reduced the price of junior tickets for those 14 years old and under to just $8 for Friday and Saturday NASCAR events in 2011. Friday events include the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race on May 13, 2011 and the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East race on Sept. 30, 2011. Saturday events include both NASCAR Nationwide Series races on May 14 and Oct. 1, 2011.
“With the new pricing available for young fans 14 and under, it’s now possible for them to attend an entire race weekend of NASCAR races at Dover for as little as $26,” said Denis McGlynn, president & CEO of Dover Motorsports, Inc. “We hope that this will encourage adults to bring their kids to the races and introduce them to the different types of racing NASCAR offers at an affordable price.”
The $8 ticket applies to both general admission and reserved seating sections. A Friday race ticket includes admission to NASCAR Camping World Truck Series or NASCAR K&N Pro Series East qualifying and race, NASCAR Nationwide Series practice and NASCAR Sprint Cup Series practice and qualifying. A Saturday race ticket includes NASCAR Nationwide Series qualifying and race, and two NASCAR Sprint Cup Series practice sessions.
As previously announced, Dover has also created a total of seven alcohol- and tobacco-free family sections and will feature special Family Value packages including one adult ticket and one junior ticket, a Racing Electronics scanner and two headsets, two hot dogs and two Pepsi products. Family value package prices range from $99 to $139 and represent savings of $75 to $115 depending on the seat location. For more information and to view a seating map, visit DoverSpeedway.com.
$10 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series junior tickets are available for Sunday races in sections 143 and 144 for both the May 15 and Oct. 2, 2011 events, with the purchase of a regularly priced adult ticket in those sections.
