Not only will all emergency workers and military personnel (active and reserves) be admitted free just by showing their ID, but they’ll also be able to bring along their families at half-off the Speedway’s regular low-ticket prices of $10 for adults and $3 for kids’ ages 7-11. Children six-years-old and under will be admitted free. Parking is free. “We feel it’s especially important to pay tribute to these dedicated people who make our community safer by deterring crime, protecting against fires, responding to disasters, defending our county and even safeguarding us against terrorist activities,” said San Antonio Speedway General Manager, Mike Sepich. He added, “We hope to have a good number of public safety personnel on hand to thank and honor.” On September 11, the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series will feature the NASCAR Late Model, Sportsman, Road Runner and Women on Wheels classes.

debwill Posted September 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 We have not purchased any radio or TV spots for this promotion. However, the press release has been sent to emergency center and military contacts, e.g., SAPD, Fire & EMS, volunteer fire departments, sheriff's department, military bases, etc. In addition, K-ROCK has offered to help out with some free promotion. I will be doing some follow-up contacts with the local TV stations to hopefully get some coverage. But with high school football in full swing, it may be difficult to get coverage. The track has already received several calls from police officers, etc., verifying the free admission. So, hopefully the word has already been spread somewhat.
