Talladega reduces ticket prices for Cup Series races

TALLADEGA, Ala. -- Talladega Superspeedway just gave its fans another reason to help celebrate its 40th anniversary, by reducing more than 20,000 Sprint Cup Series tickets to only $40 each. Beginning Jan. 8, tickets in the Gadsden and Lincoln grandstands will be available at the reduced price for both the April 26 Aaron's 499 and the Nov.1 Amp Energy 500 Cup races.

The Gadsden and Lincoln Grandstand tickets normally retail for $70 and $75, respectively, creating a savings of more than 40 percent for race fans.

In addition to a new lower ticket price, fans attending the April 24-26 Aaron's Dream Weekend and the Oct. 30-Nov. 1 Amp Energy 500 Weekend will find that some of the best things at Talladega are still free. With more than 15,000 free campsites in three overnight parks, free day parking on track property and a free Kid's Zone in the display area, Talladega Superspeedway is making life easy for race fans during tough economic times.

In 2009, Talladega Superspeedway proudly celebrates 40 years of the most competitive racing in NASCAR. While the track has seen changes made to the cars that circle its high banks, the surface that they race on and the grandstands that thousands of fans fill twice a year, one constant remains -- Talladega Superspeedway is authentic NASCAR racing at its finest.
