Atlanta Motor Speedway Searching for Fans Who Attended First Race in
1960

 

HAMPTON, Ga. (June 9, 2010) - Atlanta Motor Speedway is seeking fans who
attended the track's first race, the 1960 Dixie 300, to take part in
their 50th Anniversary celebration and pre-race festivities before the
track's Labor Day weekend NASCAR Sprint Cup Series night race.

 

Select fans from the Speedway's inaugural race in 1960 will be chosen to
take part in the Labor Day weekend NASCAR Sprint Cup Series night race
on Sunday, Sept. 5. These fans will be introduced during pre-race
festivities and participate in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver
introductions, including a photo with the starting field. In addition,
these fans will have an opportunity to meet with media to share their
stories from the 1960 race when they watched Fireball Roberts claim
victory in the Speedway's first NASCAR race. 

            

            For more information on this promotion or to verify
