Driver Ticket Packages, Which Include Q&A, Now Available For IRWIN Tools Night Race

Serving up a one-of-a-kind experience for race fans is the number one goal for officials at Bristol Motor Speedway.

With that in mind, Speedway officials today announce a new fan initiative for the upcoming IRWIN Tools Night Race Aug. 27, which delivers to fans what they crave most – face time with some of their favorite drivers.

A number of Sprint Cup drivers, led by five-time champion Jimmie Johnson, and other Bristol winners Clint Bowyer, Jeff Burton and Kasey Kahne, will participate in a race-day question-and-answer sessions with fans in the BMS hospitality area as part of a new ticket package.

Included in all packages is a ticket to the IRWIN Tools Night Race and a driver’s cap. Space is limited for the question-and-answer sessions, however, so interested fans are encouraged to purchase now.

BMS Executive Vice President and General Manager Jerry Caldwell believes the hospitality appearance is simply another way to get race fans a little closer to the drivers.

“We listened to the fans and we looked at the programs that were successful here in March,” he said. “Fans continue to look for ways to have more access to the drivers, to have an opportunity to see more of their personalities. During the spring race, Food City Race Night allows them to have that access, so we also wanted to do something special for the August race.

“This new ticket package allows fans to take part in a question and answer session, which gives them a chance to get to know the drivers just a little better. We are constantly striving to give our fans something special and we feel this is something they will definitely enjoy.”

Other drivers currently taking part in the offer include Paul Menard, Travis Kvapil and David Gilliland with a number of others expected to be added in the coming weeks.

The ticket packages are available now, starting at $125, and may be purchased by calling the BMS ticket office at 423-BRISTOL or 1-866-415-4158. Fans should inform the BMS ticket agent with whom they speak which driver package they are interested in purchasing.

iBelong members (Bristol Motor Speedway season ticket holders) can add the driver Q&A for only $15. There is limited space, so members should reserve their space now.
