Join Jeff Gordon pre-race at Infineon Raceway

SONOMA, Calif. (March 31, 2010) -- Vallejo native Jeff Gordon, who holds the track record for wins at Infineon Raceway, will join race fans for a chalk-talk session on June 20 prior to the start of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event at the California road course. Race fans can secure preferred access for this special question-and-answer session by purchasing the "24 Special" ticket package, which gets you one ticket to the race at the regular price, plus a second for just $24 (total price, $119). "I enjoyed this question and answer session with the fans last year, and I'm looking forward to it again this summer," said Gordon, driver of the No. 24 DuPont Chevrolet and five-time winner in Sonoma. "We had a great turnout in 2009 -- a turnout I hope we exceed this year." The chalk-talk session will be open to the public, but to get preferred access, you'll need the "24 Special." The Q&A will take place on the road course at Turn 11, one of the most exciting turns on the circuit. "Last year's event left no doubt that Sonoma is Jeff Gordon country," said Steve Page, president and general manager of Infineon Raceway. "The turnout was phenomenal and Jeff makes such a terrific connection with the fans. We're very grateful he's decided to join us for another session this year."
