Birthdays and anniversaries are always a lot of fun when large groups of people get together to celebrate. On March 20, however, the party at the Jeff Byrd 500 Presented by Food City will be the largest ever for the guests in attendance.
Naturally, like any good party, Bristol Motor Speedway’s 50th anniversary celebration March 20 will include cake. And thanks to Little Debbie, which also is celebrating its 50th anniversary, every fan through the gates that day will receive their own individually wrapped BMS cake.
Little Debbie will present every race fan a specially packaged Cloud Cake, marked with Bristol Motor Speedway’s anniversary logo. Among the tens of thousands of cakes that will be doled out are 50 marked with a golden sticker. Fans holding the “Golden Ticket” cakes will receive two tickets to both the Food City 250 and the IRWIN Tools Night Race at BMS Aug. 26-27. They also will receive a $50 gift card from Food City, along with Little Debbie products.
“It’s so great that Little Debbie is celebrating their 50th the same year we are, and that they wanted to be part of the Jeff Byrd 500,” said BMS Executive Vice-President and General Manager Jerry Caldwell. “We really appreciate them helping us commemorate our anniversary by making sure all of our fans had their own little piece of the celebration.”
Chris McKee, Vice President of Marketing and Sales for McKee Food Corporation, Little Debbie’s parent company, says they are thrilled that both Little Debbie and BMS can celebrate their anniversary together.
“McKee Foods is excited to be a part of Bristol Motor Speedway’s 50th anniversary celebration,” he said. “The Little Debbie Brand was first introduced in 1960 and consumers have been “Unwrapping a Smile” ever since. We are thankful for the opportunity to provide race fans in attendance with our new Little Debbie Cloud Cakes so they can join in the celebration. We look forward to a great celebration and an exciting race. Thank you for letting Little Debbie be part of the festivities and… Happy 50th Anniversary, Bristol Motor Speedway.”
