How does saving $42 off the regular ticket price for two Lincoln Grandstand tickets for the Geico 500 at Talladega Superspeedway sound?

Thanks to an overwhelming response last year, Talladega Superspeedway’s “Two for $88” ticket package, named for NASCAR’s most popular driver and a Talladega favorite - Dale Earnhardt, Jr. - is back for the Sunday, May 1 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race.

The “Two for $88” Dale Jr. Talladega package gives fans a $42 savings off the regular price for two Lincoln Grandstand tickets to the May 1 GEICO 500 – where the winner is all but guaranteed a spot in NASCAR’s Chase for the Sprint Cup. The offer is for a limited time. For more information, click here.

Earnhardt, Jr., a six-time winner at NASCAR’s Most Competitive track and defending champion of the GEICO 500, started off the 2016 season in fine fashion Thursday night, capturing a victory in the first of two Can-Am Duel qualifying races at Daytona International Speedway. As a result, he will start third in Sunday’s Daytona 500 (front row was set with Chase Elliott and Matt Kenseth last weekend). With a victory in Talladega’s GEICO 500, Earnhardt, Jr., can become the first driver since Jeff Gordon in 2004-05 to win back-to-back GEICO 500s.

Talladega Superspeedway Chairman Grant Lynch said,

The ‘Two for $88 package’ is one of the most popular we have had here. It offers two great seats in our Lincoln Grandstand at an amazing value. When Dale Jr. won last year’s GEICO 500, no one left the grandstands. The fans stayed, watching our large video boards that captured Dale’s celebration in Gatorade Victory Lane. He will again be a favorite this year.

Earnhardt, Jr. is the only driver in history to win four consecutive NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events at Talladega Superspeedway - the biggest and baddest race track on the planet..

When asked about Talladega Superspeedway, Dale Jr. responded,

We were winning so many races there in a short period of time (five from 2001-2004), and some places you feel almost like you are at home, and this is one of them. The fans at Talladega love to see us win, they want to see us lead…ever lap. They get excited and they are happy when we are up front. I mean, I feel that. I love racing here and winning here. We’re looking forward to Talladega (May 1) and the fans coming to see us. We hope do well and we appreciate all of their loyalty, and hope to be up front when the checkered flag drops.

In addition to the “Two for $88” ticket package, Talladega Superspeedway is offering up additional great “single day” savings for the spring event weekend, April 29 – May 1, which also includes the General Tire 200 ARCA Racing Series Presented by Menards race (Friday, April 29) and the Talladega 300 NASCAR XFINITY Series event on Saturday, April 30. Fans save $10 off all regular pricing for a limited time, and kids 12-and-under receive $50 off regular pricing in all seats.
