Race Fans Invited to Walk Track, Look for ‘Golden Lug Nuts’ Following Toyota/Save Mart 350
SONOMA, Calif. (June 15, 2007) – Infineon Raceway will open its world-famous road course to the public following Sunday’s Toyota/Save Mart 350 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup event with the raceway’s 2nd annual Track Walk.
Race fans will not only get to walk on the same 10-turn, 1.99-mile road course used by star NASCAR drivers like Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart and Jimmie Johnson, they will also embark on a treasure hunt for great prizes.
Race fans will be allowed to roam around the road course beginning approximately 30 minutes after the checkered flag falls on the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup event. To make it even more fun, the raceway will hide five golden lug nuts around the road course, each of which is redeemable for valuable prizes, including:
· $4,100 Snap-on Tools starter toolset (200 pieces).
· Samsung DLP HD TV.
· $500 shopping sprees at Save Mart Supermarkets, Lowe’s Home Improvement Warehouse; and Big O Tires.
· VIP packs for upcoming events at Infineon Raceway.
"This is a unique opportunity for our fans to step out onto the field of play and explore the track where a few minutes earlier their NASCAR heroes were roaring by banging fenders,” said Steve Page, president and general manager of Infineon Raceway. “Plus, for a few lucky fans, they'll be taking home some very valuable prizes."
Fans can access the race surface from four points of entry: the north end of the main grandstand; beneath the Turn 1 bridge; Turn 7 runoff area; and from the Turn 10 island. In addition to a unique opportunity to win prizes, this is also a great way for fans to avoid any post-race traffic.
The raceway will also accept donations from race fans for the Track Walk, with all proceeds benefiting qualified youth groups in Sonoma County through Speedway Children’s Charities. A Speedway Children’s Charity collection bin will be set-up at each point of entry.
