April is a good month to be a race fan in Alabama. Both IndyCar and NASCAR make stops in the state, with only one week and 30 miles separating the events. Best of all, $99 buys admission to all the racing action.
The $99 Speed Week package, created by Talladega Superspeedway and Barber Motorsports Park, gives race fans access to all six days of racing at the April 8-10 Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama presented by Legacy Credit Union at Barber Motorsports Park and the April 15-17 Aaron’s Dream Weekend at Talladega.
“We are excited to once again partner with Barber Motorsports Park to welcome both IndyCar and NASCAR fans to the great state of Alabama,” said Talladega Superspeedway Chairman Grant Lynch. “This $99 package is a great value for race fans and we look forward to a strong turnout at both events.”
“You have to love being a motorsports fan in the State of Alabama”, said Gene Hallman, President of ZOOM Motorsports, the exclusive event promoter of the Barber Motorsports Park. “This $99 package makes it possible to see the best of what both premier facilities have to offer at a very affordable price, with race weekends just one week apart.”
The Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama presented by Legacy Credit Union will feature both open-wheel and sports car racing during the April 8-10 event. The weekend lineup will include the IZOD IndyCar Series, the Firestone Indy Lights, the Grand-Am Rolex Series, the Continental Tire Sports Car Series and the Mazda Road to Indy Series.
The Aaron’s Dream Weekend features qualifying for the NASCAR Nationwide Series, followed by the ARCA Racing Series 250 race on Friday, April 15.
