Lowes Motor Speedway President and General Manger Marcus Smith announced today his Economic Stimulus plan. Working with the Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority as well as local hotels, souvenir and concession vendors he has come up with a plan to make it more affordable to come to the Bank of America 500 on the weekend of October 11. From a fans perspective I think that the plan will help with the sales of tickets for the fall races in Charlotte. One of the biggest advantages is the no minimum stay for at least 35 hotels located within 30 miles of the track. This should allow fans to come to the weekends races without having to spend three nights. Many hotels will make people book and pay for a night that they do not really need.

Not only have they eliminated the minimum stay but the participating hotels are giving a 15% discount as well.

"Consumers are constantly faced with very difficult economic decisions and we've worked hard to make attending our race a more affordable entertainment opportunity. It should be about fun, not finances," said Marcus Smith, president and general manager of Lowe's Motor Speedway. "We've been able to make this a group effort. Not only have we put together a ticket package that will save race fans 30 percent, they will also enjoy reduced prices on hotel rooms, concession items and souvenirs."

The press release said, “In conjunction with Circle K and Coca-Cola, Lowe's Motor Speedway has introduced the Circle K Family Four-Pack for just $159. The unique race-day experience includes four reserved Diamond Tower seats for the Oct. 11 Bank of America 500 along with four hot dogs and four 20-ounce Coca-Colas. The $159 price represents a savings of 30 percent if the same tickets and concession items were purchased separately.”

In addition, each person purchasing the Family Four-Pack will receive a coupon for a free 12-pack of Coke Zero that may be redeemed at a participating Circle K store.

The savings will continue when fans arrive at the speedway for the Bank of America 500, round five of the 10-race Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. A special souvenir package, featuring a Lowe's Motor Speedway T-shirt and hat that would normally sell for $48, will be available for just $20. At concession stands, fans will find four new combination packages reflecting 10 to 25 percent savings on their favorite items.

Charlotte is an easy one day drive for fans coming from as far away as New York state. This would allow them to leave on Friday morning and see both the Nationwide on Friday and Sprint Cup race on Saturday and be back home on Sunday night. Charlotte is a great place to bring the family and see the race shops or just walk around the Uptown area. It seems that week is always filled with fan events and signings for the families to attend.

So pick up the phone or go online and get those tickets ordered and I hope to see you in Charlotte.
