Special Ticket offer for Watkins Glen race

UPDATE This rumor is upgraded to 'fact' today. INDYCAR fans fortunate enough to attend the historic 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 this Memorial Day weekend will have the opportunity to take advantage of a special offer put forth by Watkins Glen International.

Any ticketholder for Sunday’s race will be granted special pricing ­ $40 for General Admission tickets, $200 for (1) trackside or non­trackside camping spot ­ on the recently announced September 1­4 INDYCAR Grand Prix at The Glen, which marks the series’ first trip to the picturesque Finger Lakes region since 2010.

“We wanted to do something special for the dedicated INDYCAR fans taking in the 100th running this weekend," said Watkins Glen International President Michael Printup. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to bring this great event back to New York, and hope this offer triggers some Labor Day vacation plans to upstate New York."
