All Food City 500 Ticket Purchasers Entered to Win
BRISTOL, Tenn. (Tuesday, January 21, 2014) — Opening to the public in A.D. 80, the Roman Colosseum hosted fierce competitions waged between imposing gladiators on one of the biggest stages in the world.
Since 1961, the battle site has shifted to Bristol Motor Speedway but the allure of both properties still remains. Bristol Motor Speedway officials are offering one lucky Bristol fan and a guest the chance to visit the city of Rome, including a tour of the iconic Roman Colosseum, through the “Colosseum 2 Colosseum” sweepstakes starting today.
“BMS is a one-of-a-kind venue with a storied sporting history, much like our Roman predecessor,” said BMS General Manager Jerry Caldwell. “Our fans frequently say that a trip to Bristol is a bucket list item for them, and we are excited to offer the chance to take another trip of a lifetime through our ‘Colosseum 2 Colosseum’ sweepstakes.”
The sweepstakes, presented by Premier Sports Travel, provides one lucky winner and a guest a five-day trip to Rome, Italy with a grand prize package including:
- Round-trip airfare for two
- Tour of the Roman Colosseum
- Four night hotel accommodations
- $1,000 cash in spending money
