Kansas Speedway and Jeff Gordon have been intertwined since 2001, when Gordon won the first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at the facility. Since then, Gordon’s name can be found in the record books a few times – first two-time winner, first three-time winner, and first night race winner last May.
And with just 24 days before Gordon’s final full-time season race at Kansas Speedway, Track President Patrick Warren has announced that the first 24,000 fans with a paid admission to the Hollywood Casino 400 on Oct. 18 will receive a commemorative pin recognizing Gordon’s accomplishments at Kansas Speedway.
“Jeff Gordon has played a big part not only in Kansas Speedway’s history, but NASCAR’s history as well,” said Warren. “With these commemorative pins, our fans will have a keepsake from Jeff’s last full-time season race at Kansas Speedway, and if he wins this year’s Hollywood Casino 400, all of his wins at Kansas Speedway will be reflected on the pin.”
Don’t miss any of the moments at Kansas Speedway as racing returns this October with the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards season finale on Oct. 16, the NASCAR XFINITY Series (Kansas Lottery 300) on Oct. 17, and the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (Hollywood Casino 400, the fifth race in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup) on Oct. 18, and tickets are currently on sale.
Parking is always free at Kansas Speedway and fans can bring in one 14x14x14-inch soft-sided cooler with their favorite food and beverages.
