Talladega Superspeedway is pleased to honor all active and retired First Responders with its new "First Responder Appreciation" ticket program, which will debut during the track's NASCAR Playoff "Wildcard" weekend Oct. 13-15, featuring the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Alabama 500.

The program allows First Responders to take advantage of excellent savings of up to a remarkable 50% on a 2-day ticket option (which features Saturday's fred's 250 Powered by Coca-Cola NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race and Sunday's Alabama 500), a Sunday Only ticket option and Pre-Race Pit Passes (Sunday's Alabama 500).

Police Officers, Firemen, and EMT's can be verified to purchase tickets through the First Responder Ticket Appreciation ticket program online at www.talladegasuperspeedway.com/firstresponder. For any additional information, First Responders can call the track's ticket office and speak directly to Ticket Sales Account Executive, Joshua Keyes at 256-315-4546.

The First Responder Appreciation ticket program offers incredible savings that include:

• 2-Day Package in Tri-Oval Tower Seats for Saturday & Sunday - ($90):

o Saturday, October 14: NASCAR Camping World Truck Series fred's 250 Powered by Coca-Cola, along with Foodland/Food Giant qualifying for the Alabama 500 and time trials for the fred's 250 Powered by Coca-Cola

o Sunday, October 15: Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Alabama 500 (Ticket also gives admission to the track's traditional Saturday Night Infield Concert)

• Sunday Only in Anniston or Lincoln Seats - ($35):

o Sunday, October 15: Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Alabama 500 (Ticket also gives admission to the track's traditional Saturday Night Infield Concert)

• First Responders Pre-Race Pit Pass - ($30):

o Fans can see the cars and crews up close before the start of the anticipated Alabama 500 on Sunday: walk up and down pit road, watch as drivers and crew chiefs make their way down the red carpet into the Drivers Meeting and MORE!

"To honor those that selflessly take on this challenge for the safety of the public day in and day out, we are extending a small token of our gratitude with this special ticket offer to all the First Responders." Said Talladega Superspeedway Chairman Grant Lynch. "We want every First Responder to know how much we appreciate them and what they do for our communities."

Both races will have NASCAR playoff implications so it will be a guaranteed pressure-packed weekend. At the drop of the checkered flag for the fred's 250 Powered by Coca-Cola, the field of championship contenders will be reduced from eight to six while in Sunday's Alabama 500 (the second race in the Round of 12), every position will be pivotal for drivers to gain valuable points in the championship battle.

The weekend kicks off on Friday, Oct. 13 with a full slate of practice sessions for both the fred's 250 Powered by Coca-Cola and the Alabama 500. Need more information or want to order tickets?
