Ticket sales soft at TMS

Texas Motor Speedway has secured just over 1,200 prime frontstretch tickets from corporate sponsors for next Sunday’s Dickies 500 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series race that will be made available to the general public beginning 9 a.m. CT Friday. “When some of our corporate sponsors make it clear that they will not be using all
of their tickets for an upcoming marquee event like the Dickies 500, we always make the effort to make them available to our general race fans this late in the game," Texas Motor Speedway President Eddie Gossage said. “I expect them to go fast considering their frontstretch location and the Dickies 500 being the biggest race in the Chase for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup." The tickets, which range in price from $99 to $130, will be available on a “firstcome, first-serve" basis by visiting or calling the Texas Motor Speedway ticket office at (817) 215-8500.
