SAN BERNARDINO county, Calif. (April 30, 2010) – Choosing a Mother’s Day gift for mom is always a problem for the kids. But this year Auto Club Speedway is taking the pain out of the process with a special package which includes a little something for everyone.

To celebrate mom’s special day (Mothers Day, Sunday, May 9), Auto Club Speedway is providing an unforgettable day for thousands of extraordinary moms and their kids (and dads too) when the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup series playoff race — the Pepsi 400 — returns to Southern California on Sunday, Oct. 10.

Only available through a free membership to Lefty’s Kids Club or to Auto Club Show Your Card & Save members, the Mother’s Day ticket package is just $34 (adults) and $19 (children 12 and under).   The Mother’s Day package includes:

• Reserved Turn 1 Grandstand ticket to the Pepsi 400, on Sunday, Oct.10, offering the best vantage point of all 43 stock cars coming off of Pit Road, racing straight into the 14-degree banking (seats located off Turn 1, Sections 93-119, Lower Reserved Seats, Rows 1-23).  Ticket upgrades are available at an additional cost.
• Reserved Lot 3 parking, the closest parking lot to your grandstand seating area
• Special VIP Viewing Area for the family in front of the Opportunity, California FanZone Main Stage during Storytime with a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Driver on race day
• Fun-filled family activities like the Lefty’s Kids Club Scavenger Hunt with prizes for those completing “their mission”
• A special race day treat for mom:  a Sprinkles Cupcake

Families wanting to take advantage of this ticket deal must act now as the Mother’s Day package expires on May 28, 2010.   To purchase the Mother’s Day ticket package call 800-944-RACE (7223) or visit the Auto Club Speedway ticket office.
