As the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series AdvoCare 500 weekend moves closer, fans have already started lining up for campsites in the unreserved campgrounds which open this Saturday, Aug. 27 at 8:00 a.m.
Anxious fans began lining up outside the speedway ticket office on Monday, a whole five days prior to being allowed to enter the campgrounds, and over a full week in advance of the AdvoCare 500 weekend, Sept. 2-4. They arrived early to be the first in line to secure their campsite. Many of the early arrivals are from local communities in close proximity to the speedway, but a few have come from as far away as Michigan.
Atlanta Motor Speedway’s unreserved campsites are available on a first-come, first-serve basis beginning this Saturday at 8:00 a.m. for both RV and tent camping. Unreserved camping spots are $60 per site and can be purchased at the entrance to the campgrounds. All vehicles must have either camping credentials or a tow vehicle pass to enter any campground at AMS. If needed, tow vehicle passes will be available for purchase at the entrance to the campground.
A limited number of reserved and infield camping sites are still available. Call the speedway ticket office at (770) 946-4211 for more information. The reserved campgrounds and infield will open for campers on Thursday, Sept. 1 at 2:00 p.m.
A new policy for 2011 will require all vehicles to show two tickets the Sunday, Sept. 4 AdvoCare 500 race before fans will be allowed to bring their camping vehicle into the campgrounds.
