In addition to 200 laps of great racing, your ticket to the Good Sam Roadside Assistance 200 presented by Cheerwine will also get you up close and personal with your favorite NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) drivers. NASCAR and Rockingham Speedway are opening up the NCWTS drivers meeting for fans to come watch. The meeting is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. April 15 in the garage at the speedway.
“I can’t tell you how many times I get asked ‘how do drivers know what to do when certain things happen on the track?’,” said Rockingham Speedway President and former racer Andy Hillenburg. “Well, they find out during the drivers meeting. We wanted to allow our race fans to be there to see it first hand, and NASCAR graciously agreed to let that happen.
“We like having knowledgeable race fans and this is a great way to help folks better understand the sport.”
Fans are asked to enter the infield through the tunnel in turn four if they wish to take part in the drivers meeting. A ticket to the race serves as admission.
Additionally, drivers will be signing autographs at their trucks on race day from 11 a.m. until noon. The gates on the front stretch (under the flag stand and in turn one) will be open for fans to cross.
“This event is going to be as fan-friendly as it can be,” Hillenburg said. “Leading up to the Good Sam Roadside Assistance 200 presented by Cheerwine, the speedway has had an outpouring of support from fans from all over the country and we want to make sure that we do everything we can to repay that support.
“With a great three days of racing (April 13-15), Little Texas and Chris Lane Band (April 14) and ThunderFest (April 13), these new bonuses for ticket holders are going to make this an even more awesome event for our fans.”
