Tickets still available for Richmond Cup and Nationwide races
Quote selected text Published May 2nd, 2008 in NASCAR News
Richmond-area NASCAR fans might have a chance to do something that many have been unable to do for 16 years: buy tickets on race day at Richmond International Raceway.
With less than 24 hours before the start of the Nationwide Series Lipton Tea 250 today and 48 hours before tomorrow’s Sprint Cup Dan Lowry 400, tickets are still available.
Aimee Turner, spokeswoman for the track, said it hopes to announce a sellout by tomorrow. Ticket prices range from $35 to $110.
For the September and May events last year, a sellout was announced the Thursday before the race. Historically, all tickets are sold at least a week in advance.
But this year, large blocks of seats remain available, according to the Web site, www.RIR.com.
Track officials declined to say how many tickets remain for each race this week and refused to offer reasons why sales have lagged previous years.
Selling out could be more difficult because the track has added 11,497 seats since 2000. The total, 112,029, includes 4,932 seats built for 2007.
