RACING BUSINESS (BROOKLYN, MI.) - A HEARTFELT VALENTINES DAY GIFT: MIS RACE TICKETS

Finding that perfect Valentine’s Day present for a loved one can sometimes be difficult, but Michigan International Speedway has a gift that works for all sweethearts.

Surprise your sweetie with race tickets to the 2008 season at Michigan International Speedway.

“People are always trying to figure out great gift ideas for their loved ones on Valentine’s Day – chocolates, flowers, balloons … Why not get them race tickets?” track President Roger Curtis said. “An event at Michigan International Speedway is fun, exciting and memorable. We’ve even had many fans over the years meet their future spouses at MIS and many of them continue to come back to where they first met.”

And with Valentine’s Day on Feb. 14 fans can still take advantage of the speedway’s “Half Now, Half Later” payment plan.

Fans who purchase tickets for events at MIS can pay half of their bill now and the other half later, and all interest free. The second payment will be automatically charged on March 11. The payment plan is another way MIS is trying to help race fans give something special to their sweetheart for Valentine’s Day. The offer to sign up for the payment plan ends at the drop of the green flag for the Daytona 500 on Feb. 17.

Tickets aren’t the only gifts race fans can give their sweethearts for Valentine’s Day. Pit passes and hospitality packages personalize that gift and make the race weekend even more special.

Michigan International Speedway tickets fit every gift-giver’s budget. The speedway is hosting the ARCA RE/MAX Series on June 13, the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Cool City Customs 200 on June 14, the NASCAR Nationwide Series Carfax 250 on August 16 and the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series on June 15 and 3M Performance 400 on August 17. Tickets are available for all events, including qualifying days.
