Tickets available for Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway
Bristol Motor Speedway announced today that tickets are available for the Food City 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup race on March 22, 2009 – a rarity at the track that has had 53 consecutive sellouts.
BMS President Jeff Byrd said the availability stems from the decision by some corporate clients not to buy tickets for the 2009 season.
"It is no secret many corporations are cutting back in certain areas, and we have a large amount of corporate clients who are cutting tickets from their accounts as a means to trim," Byrd said.
Since Speedway Motorsports Inc. purchased the facility in 1996, BMS has had the 53 consecutive sellouts.
Tickets for the Sharpie 500 Sprint Cup race on Aug. 22 are sold out. Tickets are available for the NASCAR Nationwide Series event at BMS on March 21 and the Food City 250 Nationwide race on Aug. 21. Tickets are also on sale for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event at BMS on Aug. 19,
Qualifying day tickets for both Sprint Cup and Nationwide events on March 20 are also available.
Purchase information is available at (423) 989-6900 or on the Web at www.bristoltix.com.
