Kids Drive NASCAR Kicks Off Today

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Today, NASCAR announced exclusively via Facebook Live, beginning in 2017, kids ages 12 and younger will be admitted FREE to all NASCAR XFINITY Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races.

The announcement was made during an all-kids press conference hosted at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, N.C. The press conference also kicked off Kids Drive NASCAR, a week-long, youth initiative leading up to this weekend’s national series races at Michigan International Speedway and Road America.

“There really is no other experience like attending a NASCAR race in person, and that’s especially true for kids. So many children have become lifelong NASCAR fans because their parents brought them to their first race, and this new ticket offering makes it even more affordable for families to create memories that will last a lifetime.” Jill Gregory, NASCAR senior vice president and chief marketing officer

Many race tracks already have a bevy of offerings geared towards youth in place, including youth autograph sessions, youth garage tours, kids’ clubs and designated kids’ zones. Numerous tracks also have employed various ticket platforms focused on youth, but this new program marks the first time where tracks will institute a consistent offer wherever NASCAR XFINITY Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races take place.

Complimentary NASCAR Tickets In 2017

Beginning in 2017, the number of complimentary tickets available for children 12 and younger will vary from venue to venue for every adult ticket purchased. Specific track policies and procedures, including sections in which the tickets are offered, will still apply and may differ for each track as well in an effort to welcome and accommodate as many families as possible.

This program is another example of NASCAR-sanctioned tracks improving the at-track experience with the ultimate goal of delivering additional value and an unparalleled live-event experience for fans.

NASCAR Hammer Down host Karsyn Elledge, and NASCAR Next drivers Todd Gilliland and Harrison Burton helped announce the program during Monday’s kids-only press conference, the first in a series of industry events and activities that will celebrate Kids Drive NASCAR week.

For the latest Kids Drive NASCAR news and content, fans can visit NASCAR.com and follow NASCAR on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat. For tickets to an upcoming NASCAR race, fans can visit NASCAR.com/tickets.

Be sure to tune-in when the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series hits the track this weekend at Michigan International Speedway for the Pure Michigan 400 on Sunday, Aug. 28 at 2 p.m. ET on NBCSN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio and MRN.
