It’s been a busy week around the Speedway this week. On Monday, Talladega Superspeedway turned 40 years old. September 14, 1969, Richard Brickhouse drove into Victory Lane after winning the very first NASCAR race at what was then known as Alabama International Motor Speedway. To celebrate the day, I surprised about 15 fans in Gatorade Victory Lane Monday with lunch and a cake to commemorate the day. The fans were at the track that day taking the normal track tour and I really enjoyed the opportunity to speak with them.
Speaking of Richard Brickhouse, he will be at the track Sunday for our Fan Appreciation Day. Brickhouse, Dave Marcis and Sterling Marlin will all be on hand to meet the fans and sign some autographs. We are also going to let 2009 ticket holders take their personal vehicles around the track . . . at legal interstate speed. The day gets started with the gates opening at 10 a.m. and activities at start at 11 a.m. We will wrap up the day with a concert by Darryl Worley that begins at 3 p.m. All of this is free and I hope you can join us. Remember, AMP Energy 500 weekend is just around the corner and tickets start at just $40.
