When it comes to big NASCAR fun, it's hard to beat Talladega Superspeedway, the 2.66-mile-long track that is the longest oval on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series circuit.
Making it even larger than life for a select few NASCAR fans was being on hand as a DraftKings VIP for the October CampingWorld.com 500 during the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup.
"Thanks to DraftKings for an unforgettable weekend at Talladega," wrote DraftKings VIP Crystalbil. "The VIP experience was just that, VIP. My father and I had infield parking, all access to the pits and garages, we even sat on the pit wall during Sprint Cup qualifiers. We got to talk with pit crews about tires and pit box setup. ... The people were great at DraftKings putting together a weekend my father and I will never forget. They made it easy to feel like the king of the track."
Besides behind-the-scenes access to pit road, DraftKings VIPs also got a chance to experience Talladega like never before.
"From doing laps at 130 mph-plus on the banks of Talladega, in a pace car, to sitting up front in the drivers' meeting, DraftKings has you covered," wrote VIP lgbowling2. "They will show you how cars go through inspection, a tour of the garage and up close for driver introductions. Keep your eyes out, as you never know who will be in attendance that day."
Terry Morris and his wife Cricket were especially impressed by the attention paid to them by DraftKings hosts.
"I have been a NASCAR fan for many years and we were treated like VIPs," Morris said. "We were picked up at the parking lot by your team and escorted from each event. We had a hoot. We loved the pace car ride at Talladega. I have a greater respect for all NASCAR drivers. ... Then, we were there for driver introductions with a special opportunity to take pictures with Martin Truex Jr."
