Giveaways, Racing and Track Drives Among the Day’s Activities
Fans and members of the local community are invited to enjoy a free open house at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Saturday, May 12 from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
The day’s activities will include a full program of Legends racing on the “Thunder Ring” oval, free giveaways and the opportunity for attendees to drive their car on the speedway’s famed 1.54-mile racing surface.
Admission is free to the off-season Legends race on the ¼-mile “Thunder Ring,” where fans can roam the grandstand seating area and personally select their seats for the speedway’s Labor Day NASCAR night racing weekend, Aug. 31-Sept. 2.
With any ticket purchase to the Sept. 2 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series AdvoCare 500, fans can drive their own vehicle on the track following the conclusion of the Legends racing action at 2:00 p.m. Customers who have already purchased tickets to the AdvoCare 500 can visit the AMS ticket office to receive a voucher to drive the track. A payment of $30 will also be accepted for track drives without a ticket purchase.
