4 lucky fans could see both Canadian races

Northlands, promoter of the Honda Indy Edmonton on July 23-25, unveiled a ticket promotion that includes a drawing for four people to head to the Honda Indy Toronto on July 18.

“Anyone who purchases a three-day grandstand ticket to the Honda Indy Edmonton through to July 4th, or for anyone who’s already purchased a three-day grandstand ticket, those race fans are automatically entered into a draw for two winners and one guest each to become pit crew members for both Alex (Tagliani) and Paul (Tracy) at the Honda Indy Toronto," announced Ken Knowles, president of Northlands.

Three-day ticket packages start as low as $135 and include two Capital EX gate admissions.

Tickets are on sale online at www.edmontonindy.com or at www.ticketmaster.ca, or by calling Ticketmaster at 780-451-8000.

Knowles also announced that new event sponsors have been added: Christensen Developments, Safefreight Technologies, NAPA Auto Parts, Alberta Co-Op Taxi, Xerox, Capital Power Corporation, Enerkem, Seko Construction and the Reckitt Benckiser Group.

“We’ve had an excellent response from businesses, both locally and nationally, all of whom want to make sure the Honda Indy Edmonton is a success in 2010. They’re really stepping up to support this event," Knowles said.

“We’ve also created some very affordable hospitality options for businesses who want to treat their employees and customers, as well as themselves, to three days of the best in auto racing. As well, we have extremely affordable ticket packages for anyone who wants to take in the race. Single day and three-day tickets are available, and sales have been brisk. We’re very pleased."
