Race fans are excited about the Meet & Greet that will take place on race night from 5 to 6 PM. The pit gate, located by victory lane behind the fourth turn grandstand will open at 5 PM to allowed race fans a one hour visit to the 410 sprint pit area. The pit parking will be adjusted so all the 410 sprints will be parked in the top pit area. Fans can visit the drivers and cars, take photos and collect autographs of the many nationally recognized drivers that will be part of the show.

To better accommodate the race fans, advance tickets will go on sale at the main ticket office/main entrance at 4:30 PM. This will allow fans to purchase their tickets and go directly to the victory lane area, to await the 5 PM opening of the gate to the 410 sprints.
