LOUDON, N.H. (July 10, 2009) – Thanks to the overwhelming fan response that made the Speed Zone seating such a success at the LENOX Industrial Tools 301, New Hampshire Motor Speedway has announced the creation of the SYLVANIA Speed Zone, a special seating section that offers a $39 ticket for the SYLVANIA 300 on Sunday, September 20.

A section of seats in the Laconia Grandstand has been designated as the SYLVANIA Speed Zone. This section features a very limited number of $39 tickets that will give fans the chance to see Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart, Kyle Busch, and the rest of the Top-12 start the “Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup” for just 13 cents a lap!

“The first Speed Zone was a smash hit,” said Jerry Gappens, executive vice president and general manager of the speedway. “Our main concern is taking care of the fans, especially in these tough economic times. We can’t think of a better way to do so than by once again offering fans this incredible chance to be part of the largest sporting event in New England and kick-off the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series playoffs.”

The SYLVANIA 300 will also feature the MegaTicket package. The $99 MegaTicket includes reserved seating for the SYLVANIA 300 in the MegaZones, located in special sections of the Concord and Laconia Grandstands. This amazing combination ticket, a $150 value if purchased separately, also includes general admission seating for all of the events on Friday and Saturday.

The SYLVANIA 300 weekend brings the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship playoffs to New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The Heluva Good! Pole Day for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and the Heluva Good! Fall 125 for the NASCAR Camping World Series East will kick-off the action on Friday, September 18. Fans will want to strap-in for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour New Hampshire 100, the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Heluva Good! 200, and the American-Canadian Tour Invitational on Saturday, September 19. All eyes will be on the speedway on Sunday, September 20, as the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series starts its 10-race championship run at the SYLVANIA 300.

SYLVANIA Speed Zone tickets and the MegaTicket package are available now by calling the Ticket Hotline at (603) 783-4931 or by visiting the speedway online at www.nhms.com.
