Fans can attend drivers meeting prior to Las Vegas race

LAS VEGAS - For the first time, Las Vegas Motor Speedway is extending fans the opportunity to attend the drivers meeting for the KOBALT Tools 400 on March 11. Weather permitting, the meeting will take place adjacent to the main stage in the center of the Neon Garage, prior to the NASCAR Sprint Cup event at the 1.5-mile desert oval.

"The Neon Garage opened in 2007, and it’s provided unprecedented access to all of the behind-the-scenes action within the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series garage," said LVMS President Chris Powell. "Thanks to NASCAR, we’re able to take that access up another notch. This will give race fans an even deeper look into what goes on for the drivers and crew chiefs prior to a race."

“The entire NASCAR community has always worked closely to ensure that we are the most fan-friendly sport,” said Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR senior vice president of racing operations. “This is another terrific example of a racetrack providing fans with access that is unprecedented in sports.”

Race fans can obtain tickets and Neon Garage passes for the March 11 Cup event by visiting www.lvms.com or by calling 1-800-644-4444.
