Quaker State presented by Advance Auto Parts Weekend Packed with Entertainment

Kentucky Speedway’s three-race July 9-11 NASCAR weekend is set to feature 925 miles of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, XFINITY Series and Camping World Truck Series.

 

Race fans will be able to cheer on their favorite driver with a green Quaker State rally towel Saturday, July 11 when NASCAR’s elite drivers compete on the 1.5-mile tri-oval in the Quaker State 400 presented by Advance Auto Parts.

 

“The Quaker State 400 is the premier racing event at Kentucky Speedway, attracting fans from across the country to see their favorite drivers battle in the coveted nighttime race,” said Kentucky Speedway General Manager Mark Simendinger. “Quaker State recognizes this fan loyalty and plans to honor it by creating exclusive, interactive experiences for them at the Speedway this year.”

 

The Quaker State rally towels will be available at Kentucky Speedway gates on Quaker State 400 presented by Advance Auto Parts race day.

 

The AeroShell Aerobatic team is set to provide a unique introduction to Jerrod Niemann’s pre-race performance when planes carve the Turn 2 skies with an exhibition that takes flight at 5 p.m. The longest-flying civilian aerobatic team in North America delights audiences by reeling off tricks in four iconic red-white-and-black AT-6 Texans, often amid billowing smoke. Three decades of renowned airmanship propelled the team to induction in the International Council of Air Shows Foundation (ICAS) Hall of Fame in 2014.

 

Keith Sayers Freestyle Motocross riders will entertain guests with a combined eight performances on our concourse between Gate 18 and Gate 20 July 10-11. Sayers began racing motocross at age 12 in 1995 and performing freestyle shows just two years later. He and his team have performed at some of America’s most notable venues. High-flying shows are scheduled for 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 3 p.m., and 5 p.m., Friday as well as for 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., 3:30 p.m., and 5 p.m., Saturday.
