Tickets to go on sale June 1 for Semi-final race weekend at Phoenix

Phoenix International Raceway has waived the green flag for fans to purchase tickets to one of the most exciting race weekends of the NASCAR season, featuring the semi-final race in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. Tickets to the Nov. 8-11 NASCAR event weekend at PIR go on sale June 1 and can be purchased by visiting PhoenixRaceway.com/Tickets or by calling 1-866-408-RACE (7223).

Last year’s semi-final race at PIR sold out quickly. The capacity crowd witnessed a thrilling race won by Kasey Kahne on PIR’s newly paved track, while Chase points leaders Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart positioned themselves for an historic conclusion to the 2011 Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup.

“Drivers know they have to lay it all on the line at this race in order to have a shot at the Sprint Cup title,” said Phoenix International Raceway President Bryan R. Sperber. “November’s race will likely be one of the most competitive and aggressive events of the 2012 NASCAR season.”

A fun-filled weekend of family entertainment and Veteran’s Day-related activities on in the fan midway will make for one of the most anticipated annual festival atmospheres throughout the Phoenix area. Four exciting NASCAR races will take place on the track, providing a one-of-a-kind experience to be enjoyed with friends and family members of all ages.

A number of great individual pricing options are available throughout the event weekend. Tickets to the Sunday, Nov. 11 Chase for the Sprint Cup Series Race begin at $25. Prices start as low as $15 for the opportunity to watch two Saturday (Nov. 10) races, the Great Clips 200 NASCAR Nationwide Series Race and the Casino Arizona 50 NASCAR K&N Pro Series West Race. Fans can enjoy the Friday, Nov. 9, Lucas Oil 150 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Race at a price point as low as $7 per ticket. Package deals are also available to fans interested in purchasing tickets to both the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series races on Saturday and Sunday.
