 Two-time Talladega Superspeedway winner Jimmie Johnson will host a special Kids Question & Answer Session as part of an extraordinary Jimmie Johnson Family Ticket Package at NASCAR’s Most Competitive track prior to the start of the Alabama 500 on Sunday, Oct. 23.

Talladega Superspeedway’s Jimmie Johnson Family Ticket Package will be in the Gadsden Grandstand for the highly anticipated Alabama 500 – the elimination race in the Round of 12 in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup where the field of title contenders will be trimmed from 12 to eight at the checkered flag. The package includes:

  • $48 ticket(s) for adults and $24 ticket(s) for children
  • Families will receive 10% off of merchandise purchased at the Fanatics NASCAR Trackside Superstore located in the FanZone outside the frontstretch

In addition to the Kids Q&A session, the youngsters will participate in hands-on activities during a special learning program, led by NASA’s trained educators. The focus will be centered on aerodynamics, grip, speed and other key racing elements used in NASCAR. The lessons will help demonstrate the relationship between NASA and motorsports. Each kid who attends the Q&A will also receive a four-color Jimmie Johnson NASA Rockets to Racecars activity book centered on STEM education.

Johnson, the 6-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion who has a guaranteed spot in the 16-driver Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, went to Talladega’s Gatorade Victory Lane in 2006 and 2011. His ’11 triumph was the closest finish in NASCAR history (.002 second). The driver of the No. 48 Lowe’s Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports has seven top-five finishes, 11 top-10s and has led 467 laps in 29 races at TSS. He also has four pole positions, with the most recent coming in 2010.

Talladega Superspeedway’s action-packed weekend kicks off on Friday (Oct. 21) with practice sessions for both the fred’s 250 Powered by Coca-Cola and the Alabama 500. Saturday’s schedule includes Foodland/Food Giant qualifying for both NCWTS (9:30 a.m. CDT) and NSCS (3:00 p.m. CDT) while the fred’s 250 Powered by Coca-Cola gets the green flag at 12 Noon CDT.
