FT. WORTH, TX (2/24/17) by DarinShort.com. For the first time in several years, when the sun goes down the dirt will fly at the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track on O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 NASCAR weekend, with the running of Tony Stewart presents Texas Sprint Car Nationals.
Racing takes place nightly at 8pm on Friday, April 7th and Saturday, April 8th, featuring the Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint Car Dirt Series. Tony Stewart, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Kenny Wallace have already committed to compete in racing events nightly.
Two-day, reserved, grandstand tickets are selling at a blistering pace - grab yours now before they sell out!
Just click here and in a couple of minutes you'll be all set for both nights of high speed dirt track racing. The two-day advance reserved grandstand passes will save you a total of $11.
General Admission grandstand tickets are also on sale. G.A. seats are located in corners 1 & 4...while supplies last, at the above link.
Pit passes are available for purchase on race day and are available at the TMS Credentials Trailer, located at Mark Martin Drive, across the street from pit entrance (the back side of the dirt track entrance next to I-35W and the large marquee sign). Advance pit passes are available for purchase online, and note that online pit pass purchases can only be picked up at the TMS Credentials trailer on race day. No ATVs, UTVs, golf carts allowed in pit area unless it is assigned to a race team in the dirt pit area.
Nightly pit pass prices are $35 each, but on Friday night at the track (April 7th) you can purchase a 2-day pit pass for $60, a savings of $10. Note that pit passes do not include grandstand admission to this event.
You can upgrade your pit pass nightly at the ticket booth at the main grandstand entrance on the west side of the track for $20 (if G.A. admission is still available).
Conversely, if you would like to upgrade any grandstand seat to include a pit pass, you can do so for $20 nightly using the same procedure at the grandstand ticket booth.
Both of these upgrade, or combo-ticket, options are only available on race day.
'Race Fan Tip' from this writer: my suggestion is get your reserved G.A. tickets now. Then on race night if you decide "Hey, this is a great day to go take a selfie in the pits next to Tony Stewart's sprint car" (for example), then all you have to do is go to the grandstand ticket booth and upgrade to a pit pass at that point. Then you don't have to risk not having a grandstand seat while you're out having fun in the pit area.
If you've yet to get your NASCAR weekend tickets, you can click here. Then you'll have your weekend plate full of racing at both tracks...day and night!
Back to 'the dirt' on Tony Stewart presents Texas Sprint Car Nationals events: joining the ASCS Sprint Cars will be the TMS Limited Modified Invitational. Both divisions will compete in heat races, B-features and Championship A-features nightly.
Entries are closed in the Limited Modified division; no other entries will be added. The ASCS Sprint Cars will register upon arrival on race night, so there is no 'early driver registration' page for this event for either division.
There is a supplemental Race Fan page going up at http://www.darinshort.com/ts.html that contains complete Tony Stewart presents Texas Sprint Car Nationals information such as directions, pictures, video clips, ticketing links, detailed schedule, event press releases and any urgent messages that the Speedway might wish to convey along the way and much more. Please save this web link as it will be updated frequently between now and through the race weekend.
THANK YOU to all of the race fans that have already purchased tickets to Tony Stewart presents Texas Sprint Car Nationals for April 7th-8th at TMS's Dirt Track; please click here to get yours if you've yet to do so...as it's going to be the perfect addition to complete your O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 NASCAR weekend!
