SONOMA, Calif. (March 28, 2011) – Race fans can once again secure preferred access to a scheduled question and answer session with NASCAR star and Vallejo native Jeff Gordon at the Toyota/Save Mart 350 in Sonoma with the “24 Special” ticket package.

Gordon, who holds the track record for wins at Infineon Raceway, will be front-and-center for race fans with a special chalk-talk session just hours before the drop of the green flag for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race.

For the third consecutive year, Infineon Raceway will offer race fans the “24 Special,” which gets you one ticket to the Toyota/Save Mart 350 on Sunday, June 26, plus the second ticket for just $24 (total price, $119). That’s a savings of $70 on two tickets.

“This Q&A session is a great chance for me to interact with the fans,” said five-time Sonoma winner Gordon, who will drive the No. 24 DuPont Chevrolet during the June 24-26 race weekend. “Being from nearby Vallejo, this is always a fun weekend for me and the turnout for these events in the past have been incredible.”

The scheduled chalk-talk session will be open to the public, but to get preferred access, you’ll need the “24 Special.” The Q&A will take place on the road course at Turn 11, one of the most exciting turns on the circuit.

“Jeff Gordon has such a strong local following that this is always one of our most popular promotions,” said Steve Page, president and general manager of Infineon Raceway. “We appreciate Jeff jumping on board with us again this year and look forward to a fun get-together at the track in June.”

Race fans can purchase the “24 Special” by calling 800-870-RACE (7223) or visiting www.infineonraceway.com/24Special. The Toyota/Save Mart 350 NASCAR weekend at Infineon Raceway is scheduled for June 24-26.
