"Great time, great people, and an awesome race. I was sitting there thinking I can't believe I'm at the Daytona 500! Thanks Sports Traveler for making this happen for us. My family is still talking about it and are planning the next race we want to see!"

"I had the pleasure this past weekend
to be on your package program for the Kissables 300 and Daytona 500
races. It was very nice and everything was very organized. Imogene was
our tour guide (what a wonderful lady, she had it all together).
William Bell was our motorcoach driver, he also was awesome in getting
us to and from the track safely & in a timely manner. I am now
interested in information for the Pepsi 400 in July."

Mike and his team were absolutley
wonderful to deal with. I'm from Sydney Australia and I wanted to go to Talladega, Sports Traveler made that happen. I could not have asked for anything more out
of my experience perhaps for my driver to have won but hey it does not matter.
Thank you I will look to use Sports Traveler in the future for any sporting
tour. Thank you.

Thank
you for your concern over our booking. We really appreciate your prompt
and detailed attention to us. We so enjoyed your "NASCARS" for the
first time. We have been fans for years but watching on TV is just not
the same. Thank you once again. Cheryl Hearn

Atlanta Motor Speedway -- Kobalt Tools 500
The NASCAR season takes fans down to the Peach State for the Kobalt Tools 500 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, the fastest track in NASCAR. Jeff Gordon is the only active two-time winner of the race, so fans should be prepared for a wide-open race. Located 20 miles south of the city in Hampton, GA, the Atlanta Motor Speedway is a 1.5 mile track that is packed with speed. That’s right, this track, constructed in 1960, was reconfigured in 1997 from a standard oval track to a quad oval track, and now average lap speeds hover around 190 miles per hour, and often exceed 200 MPH. Choose where you want to stay with a Sports Traveler racing package, and see Atlanta for yourself. Take a walk through the Centennial Olympic Park, which was the cornerstone of the 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics. Special events are hosted here throughout the year and the memorial to the Olympic bombings is a must-visit attraction. The King center is a tribute to legendary civil rights pioneer Martin Luther King, and it offers tours throughout the year, and still provides active community service in the Atlanta metro area. Atlanta also boasts one of the top aquariums in the world, and features numerous large sea mammals and exotic fish. Before you get to the track, make sure to watch Smokey and the Bandit II, as the movie’s opening scene takes place at the speedway. So come on down to "Hotlanta" for some hot auto action, just in time for the racing season to kick into full gear.

Bristol Sharpie 500 --- Bristol Motor Speedway
As the Chase for the Championship begins to take shape the
NASCAR season takes you to Bristol, Tennessee and one of the most exciting
racetracks this country has to offer. Bristol Motor Speedway is one of the
shortest tracks on the NASCAR circuit, checking in at only one half of a mile.
Don’t be turned off by slower speeds, as Bristol’s bumper-to-bumper action
makes this race possibly the most exciting of the NASCAR schedule. With banked turns reaching up to 36 degrees,
Bristol stakes its claim as the fastest of all of NASCARs short tracks.
Bristol straddles the state line between Tennessee and
Virginia, and serves as a quaint home to 25,000 Volunteer state residents.
Officially recognized as the “Birthplace of Country Music,” Bristol offers
travelers the chance to visit the site where artists such as Jimmie Rodgers,
Uncle Charlie Osborne, as well as the Carter family all got their start. Their
work and the work of many others is showcased at the Cultural Heritage Center,
which also holds musical performances throughout the year.
As you take in the race, impress your friends with this bit
of trivia: Bristol Motor Speedway is the largest amphitheatre in the world. The
completely enclosed venue seats 165,000 fans, which creates an atmosphere that
is recognized throughout the racing world as one of the most electric in the
country. Early in his career, Jeff
Gordon dominated on this track, but recently Kurt Busch has been the man to
catch, winning five races in all at this track since 2002. One thing is
certain; a race at Bristol is a unique and unforgettable experience, see for
yourself at this year’s Bristol Sharpie 500.

Indianapolis 500 --- Indianapolis Motor Speedway
The Indianapolis 500, known as “the greatest spectacle in racing” is the largest single day sporting event in the world, as the track capacity is around 400,000.This historic event is held annually over Memorial Day weekend at the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway complex was built in 1909 as a gravel-and-tar track and hosted a number of small events before the promoters decided to focus on just one major event. The track was then paved with 3.2 million bricks, urged by principal owner Carl G. Fisher after several deaths related to the unsteady racing surface. The creation of a 500 mile race allowed the track to rapidly acquire a privileged status for automobile races.
Racing has come a very long way in the last 100 years.The first "500" was held at the Speedway on Memorial Day, May 30, 1911.The spectators of this race totaled over 82,000 and admission was only 1 dollar.Many of the drivers rode along with mechanics, who checked the oil, and acted as a “spotter”.The Indianapolis 500 has such a long history that many pre and post race traditions have taken place.One of the most noted traditions is for the victor to drink a bottle of milk after the race.This tradition started in 1936 when race winner Louis Meyer asked for a glass of buttermilk.Today, the American Dairy Association now sponsors drivers who sip milk in victory lane.In addition to getting a cold glass of milk, the victor also gets their face, name, average speed, and date of victory on the Borg-Warner Trophy.
Sports Traveler has your tickets and travel packages for the 2009 Indianapolis 500.Not only can we provide you with a great selection of race tickets, we also can provide Paddock Penthouse upgrades, headsets, and much more.
