As part of the fun-filled family weekend, kids are encouraged to join the Kids Autograph Session that will be held in the FOX Sports 1 Dome. Select Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series drivers will make an appearance to sign autographs for kids 12 and younger prior to Kids Movie Night (time and drivers TBD).
