Located behind the Diamond Tower grandstand in turn two, the SpeedZone Pavilion is a hospitality area featuring driver appearances, catered meals, cash bar, pre-race pit access and musical entertainment.
¿The SpeedZone pavilion gives fans a chance to see their favorite driver up close, ask him a question and visit the pit area. It's a way for the race fan to have fun, food and drink in one convenient location¿a great upgrade to the UAW-GM Quality 500 experience,¿ said H.A. ¿Humpy¿ Wheeler, president and general manager of Lowe¿s Motor Speedway.
SpeedZone admission is $125 per person and does not include a race ticket. SpeedZone passes can be obtained by calling 1-800-455-FANS. Additional SpeedZone driver appearances will be announced later.
