Enjoy Five NASCAR Races for only

WATKINS GLEN, NY (March 31, 2010) – For the first time ever, two historic tracks both known for their picturesque locations, Watkins Glen International and Michigan International Speedway, have come together to offer race fans two great experiences for one low price.  As part of the new Heluva Good! ticket package, NASCAR fans get a total of five exciting races for ONLY $95 including the Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips 400 at MIS on Sunday, June 13, and the Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips at The Glen on Sunday, August 8. Any fans that are ready to catch the excitement of the legendary twists and turns of WGI and the high-speed action at MIS simply need to call 800-354-1010 to order their tickets today.

“We are excited to team up with our sister track in Michigan to package our tickets, making it more affordable for race fans to enjoy the excitement at both of our fantastic facilities,” said Michael Printup, president of Watkins Glen International. “This partnership is a first for both of us, and we hope race fans and vacationers alike living between the Great Lake State and New York’s Wine Country, as well as our neighbors up in Canada, take advantage of this offer!”

“This is an excellent deal for race fans who like all forms of racing or for any sports fans looking for an economical, summertime vacation in two beautiful states,” MIS president Roger Curtis said. “Our racetracks are wonderful destinations for campers, sports experience seekers, race fans — anyone who wants to have a good time.”

Both race tracks offer some of the most unique camping opportunities in the sport of racing and are both located in popular vacation destinations. Watkins Glen International is located in the heart of the Finger Lakes Wine Country where tourism to the region has seen a substantial increase in visitation in the past few years as well as being featured in top tier publications such as Travel + Leisure, Budget Travel, and a featured road trip in the 2010 Rand McNally Atlas.

Nestled in the lush Irish Hills of Southeastern Michigan, Michigan International Speedway is a Great Escape, a venerable NASCAR national park where race fans and sports fans can get away and enjoy the very best in racing and camaraderie. It’s the fun of NASCAR and the thrill of a great time for guests and drivers alike.

This “Heluva Good!” ticket package saves fans $20 compared to the cost of purchasing separate tickets and includes general admission tickets to both of the International Speedway Corporation (ISC) sister facilities. This great package includes two races on the high-speed oval of MIS during Heluva Good! 400 June 12 and 13.  Not only will fans be able to watch NASCAR’s first visit of the season to the Great Lake State but also the VFW 200 NASCAR Camping World Series race on Saturday, June 12. Fans that attend the Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips at The Glen weekend, August 5-8, in New York’s Wine Country, will not only get to watch the stars of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series challenge The Soul of American Road Racing but also the double-header featuring the Zippo 200 NASCAR Nationwide and Crown Royal 200 GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series races on Saturday, August 7.

Sam Hornish Jr. on Michigan International Speedway

“I’ve always loved racing at Michigan International Speedway and it is a very special track to me. It is like Charlotte in that there are multiple lines you can choose from but, unlike Charlotte, Michigan is a very low-grip surface. Low-grip tracks allow you to find the best place for your car to work for the best results.

“We had a tough race at Watkins Glen this week. I took a pretty big hit, but the cars are safe and I’m thankful that we do everything that we do to be as safe as we can. I’ve got a couple bumps and bruises, but all in all, I’m pretty good. I’m happy about that and I’m looking forward to getting back out there and, hopefully, having a much better weekend at Michigan. Nothing would feel better than to put on a good show for my hometown crowd.”

Crew Chief Travis Geisler on Michigan International Speedway

“Michigan International Speedway (MIS) is as close as it gets to a home track for Sam and I. Racing in front of a hometown crowd always makes you want to do your best. Not to mention, it is a home track for our owner, Roger Penske, and Dodge. We struggled during the June race at MIS but I feel like we learned some important lessons and our team has improved since then. It takes everything to run well at Michigan, horsepower, fuel mileage, aero and good handling. I think this weekend will be a good test for the Mobil 1 team.”
