Today on News Channel 11 at Noon, Bristol Motor Speedway's Lori Worley said season passes are available for the 2009 season. "That's the first time that has happened in years," Worley said.
Worley said the depressed economy and resulting job losses left some fans unable to continue paying for the passes.
Bristol Motor Speedway traditionally sells out for Nascar Sprint Cup Races. Until now, a fan's only hope of winning season tickets which include tickets to the Sprint and Nationwide came through a track "lottery" in which people entered a drawing for the infrequent season pass that became available.
"We're confident the economic downturn will soon improve, so this chance to buy season tickets won't last forever," Worley said.
According to a box office representative at BMS, season tickets start at $304 for all grandstand seats. Terrace level seats cost $389, and tickets in the Earnhardt level cost $414. Season pass holders get 1 reserved seat ticket to each of the Nationwide and Sprint Cup races in March and August.
To buy tickets, call the Bristol Motor Speedway box office at 423-764-1161.
