NHRA answer ,$5.00 more YA -that will help

[fredjohnston]

Maybe someone should suggest NHRA's Top Management talk with NASCAR's top management or send NHRA the info below from NASCAR. Seems to me that NASCAR is doing all they can to help the fan and keep sponsors. I read recently where NASCAR also met with their sponsors while attending the PRI show and modified their contracts to "REDUCE" the sponsorship dollars. This in an attempt to keep the sponsors involved with NASCAR and the race teams during the tight economic times.

DARLINGTON, S.C. -- Darlington Raceway is reducing ticket prices on nearly 9,000 seats for the 2009 Southern 500.

All seats in Rows 3-14 in the Colvin Grandstand will now be $35, a $10 discount off the original price.

"We are celebrating a historic milestone in 2009 with the 60th season of racing at Darlington Raceway and we want to make sure that our fans can be here for this special event," track president Chris Browning said. "We recognize that economic times are tough for everyone right now and want to do our part to help reduce the cost of attending an event at Darlington Raceway."

Since moving to Mother's Day weekend in 2005, Darlington Raceway has sold out four consecutive Cup Series events.

To purchase tickets, contact the track ticket office at 843-395-8802.
