The star power for Food City Race Night at Bristol Motor Speedway continues to grow with the addition of Pepsi MAX driver Jeff Gordon.
Gordon, a four-time Sprint Cup champion and five-time winner at BMS, is scheduled to participate in a question and answer session Friday, March 18 in the hospitality area at 6 p.m.
Gordon’s teammate, five-time and defending Sprint Cup champ Jimmie Johnson, takes part in the evening’s activities as well, as he attempts to dethrone two-time Wii Boxing champion Elliott Sadler.
Others vying for the Bristol Motor Speedway Wii Boxing championship include Clint Bowyer, Marcos Ambrose, Bobby Labonte and David Reutimann. Wii Boxing gets under way at approximately 6:30.
A second question and answer session begins at 6:30 p.m. with Jeff Burton, Brian Vickers, David Ragan, A.J. Allmendinger and Matt Kenseth.
New this year to Food City Race Night is the BMS version of the Newlywed Game, set for approximately 7:30. Instead of husbands and wives playing the game, however, this game features drivers and crew chiefs. Among those competing is Kasey Kahne and Kenny Francis, Brad Keselowski and Paul Wolfe and Trevor Bayne and Donnie Wingo.
More than 20,000 fans attended last year’s Food City Race Night, which is free to fans.
Food City Race Night opens at 4 p.m. Various drivers sign autographs and show cars are on display, along with simulators and souvenir trailers. Live entertainment is featured, along with free food sampling.
Tickets for the Food City 500 are available for $93 while tickets for the Scotts EZ Seed 300 start at $45. Ford Fan Friday tickets are only $5 and are just $4 for fans who have tickets to the Jeff Byrd 500 Presented by Food City.
